Can you get a recording of this? Does it sound like the noise is in the front or rear? I suspect this is a CV axle so here is the process on how to remove it but I would suggest getting a recording of this first.

Here is a guide that talks about a clicking noise when turning which could fit this issue:

Let's start with this and go from there. Thanks
