Does it matter whether straight ahead or turning? Nothing is hitting the tire?
Here's a weird possibility...something inside the tire.

What kind of rims do you have? If they are chrome, there could be a small rock between the chrome cover and the steel rim. It could make quite a racket at slow speeds, then disappear at higher speed.

Yet STILL as I am driving at slower speeds there is a click click click almost not as fast as the tire rotates a full rotation. It does it driving on grass too so not a stone in the tread.

Brake pad clips are not hitting rotor. Dust shield has been removed so no stone between shield and rotor.

How can an essentially brand new front end be doing this !!

Please help
Have you ever found the cause i have that same noise on my truck both front wheel worst when worm cold seems to go away the warmer the brake wors the noise. Also noticable when turning

It was a cracked wheel stud. It ended up braking off when I was removing the tire trying to find the noise.
