Without being there, too hard to diagnose, could be one of a few things. If you're not up on suspensions and drivetrains, I'd take it to a pro. Could be anything from a pebble stuck between rotor and backplate to CV axle to tie rods, to wheel bearings, even tires. See if you can replicate the sound with wheels off the ground.
How old are your brakes? Could just be that replacement pads are needed.
