Default Ticking Noise from Front Wheel

I have this ticking noise coming from what sounds like my front right wheel. I can hear the ticking noise after 40km and it gets louder with more speed. If i push the clutch pedal in nothing changes. Makes the ticking noise when rolling over 40km.
I do plan on taking it to a mechanic soon but just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what it could be?

Thanks

Have you given any hitchhikers a ride that looked like this?

Haha!

Ive checked for rocks in the Tyres but cant see any so far.

I was thinking something to do with a wheel bearing but im not really sure how it would sound.

If i turn corners the sound doesn't change and usually isn't there as im below 40km. I can hear it best when driving in a straight line at 70-80km.

Does it stop or change when you brake?

Braking doesn't seem to change it. Brakes work perfect and the noise is still there until I get to a lower speed. I tried putting the brakes on hard to see any difference but the ticking noise fades away when slowing down.

lol funny you ask that.

The noise started around 2 weeks ago and then my front right tyre went flat. So got the tyre replaced last week. It had a screw in the tyre and the screw was on some angle that they couldn't fixed.

So i thought the noise was because of the screw. After putting the new tyre on the noise is still there Ive checked my other tyres for screws or rocks but cant see anything.
