Possibly the metal shim on the brake pads has broken and has moved across and hitting your rotor?

yeah what you got there sounds like a brake pad shim broken or a wheel bearing coming to bits. For your wallets sake learn how to change wheel bearings yourself, if that's the problem, because a shop with labour will probably hit you for 400-500 dollars :<

EDIT: Rudy is right, way better than later on fixing a bearing ;) I left one for too long, had to remove 3 pieces.'

SECOND EDIT: Ironically, my left side bearing just audibly split in two, due to a lot of driving. luckily I was on my way to my rents place and I have 2 spare bearings there, took a while but at least I was back on the road in a couple hours :D

The door hinge pins and mounting can rattle and squeek on older models ,To eliminate this from the list just open the door While driving and any noise caused by door movement will stop .If the noise is still there with the door open then its probably the front wheel .
If its wheel bearings then a violent shake of the top of the wheel sould show freeplay and movement in the bearing .
