It might be. Try pulling off the hubcaps first and see if it goes away.

Best I can say is to jack the car up and run it with the front off hte ground and turn the wheels and try to narrow it down. I have seen a loose wheel make a clicking noise, cv joints or the wheel and or rotor rubbing.

Maybe have someone else drive it by you while you listen to where the source is.
