Could be a hub cap, in which case removing and driving will answer that. Better chance of a half shaft on it's way out. A half shaft runs between the transaxle and the wheel. On each end there is a constant velocity joint. The joints are each covered with a black bellow shaped boot to protect the joint. Stick your snoot under the side that is making the noise and inspect the two boots. If you see grease flung out from the centrifical force, look closley at the boot(s) for a crack or tear in it. IF so, replace the halfshaft. While you can relace just the joint and boot, it is more costly, more of a pain in the butt and you still will only have one new joint.

What causes brake lights to flash when left blinker is turned on?
when you flip your blinker on, a relay in the circuit is activated which turns the light on and off. also, the front blinker and rear blinker usually alternate in turning off and on, so when the back is on, the front will be off, and reverse.. that's why when a bulb is out, the clicking sound in the vehicle goes faster than when both are in working order.

What could cause a clicking noise from the front drivers side tire on a 1997 Volvo 850 when driving straight and through turns.?
The clicking sound that the front tire is making when turning is caused by the velocity joint, I suggest that you replace it rightaway because it means that the metal bearings of the velocity joint has already lost one ball and if it breaks apart - the bigger problem is transporting a car with a wheel that won't roll
