Okay, so I drove my car for first time in like 4 or 5 days, and after about 5-10 minutes I noticed this noise coming from my car. It's an odd noise and the only way i can describe it is like popping a plastic bottle, or if you like lean on your car hard enough it'll pop. It had that sound a little bit. The longer I drove the more it made the noise. What's wrong with it and is it safe to drive it anywhere?

*UPDATE* A bar near the front right tire just fell off. Happened during a sharp turn and slowing testing my car out in the parking lot. Any ideas what this bar is? I can still drive it and it doesn't affect the steering at all.
