Default What Is This Noise!!!

I was wondering if anybody has experienced this same problem that I have.

Every now and then, I will hear a noise coming from what seems like the drivers side of my car. If I roll down the windows and have my radio off, it sounds almost like a nail is stuck in one of my tires and with every revolution on the tires I can hear a slight clicking noise which gets faster as I go faster. The best way to hear this is in a parking garage or a street with no traffic.

I was wondering if this is the noise that everybody hears with tire feathering. I have only 4000 miles on the car and have checked my tires to see if there were any nails and there weren't. And also the noise doesnt happen everytime, just every now and then. So, if anybody could help, please reply.

To clarify the noise, imagine holding a piece of paper or a poker playing card to a fan (but just not as fast), this is almost what the noise sounds like.

I've heard it occasionally but then it disappears. I think it's due a pebble temporarily wedged between the treads of a tire.
