Default Weird ticking noise coming from front right wheel?

So maybe a couple days ago pulling into my garage I could hear like a ticking noise of some sort sort of like the sound a leaf makes scraping the ground or when we were kids and we put the cards in our spokes. Not sure if it makes the noise when going faster cause I can't hear it but I am able to hear it when going slow into my garage. I have absolutely no idea what the noise is from.

Brake pad wear sensor? That's the best remote diagnosis you're going to get. If you can't check into yourself, take it to a tech who can.

because taking off the wheel and looking makes too much sense

Is it in the back? Could it be the rear axle clicking noise?

Phenom brings up the most likely culprit if you're sure it's coming from the front. It's also possible you could have a small pebble or piece of debris sandwiched between the brake dust shield and rotor (this would make a continuous scraping/grinding noise though).

Check the tire first and go from there.
