Sounds like it's coming from your strut tower/knuckle.

Check for loose or broken bolts. As the strut tower twists when turning, whatever is loose/broken will shift. This would also make noise when braking cause the weight shifts forward and jars whatever is loose.

Pull that wheel off and start yanking and pulling things behind there. You might find something loose or missing a bolt.

EDIT:

Oh yeah also do a check for the sound with BOTH front wheels off the ground. Try listening for it while you manually turn the tire from left to right. It always helps when you can get right down there and listen for the sound, helps zero in on it.

Also what steveshadows says is a good place to look too!!! Same basic vicinity...
