Possibly - possibly a pebble stuck in tread of a tire......... could be a problem with the serpentine belt................ in other words it could be a number of things, and anything we can suggest would be just a guess, but will give you a list of things to check. I think you are gonna have to get your hands dirty to diagnose it further. .

Well I am leaning towards it being a wheel bearing noise. I can rev the motor and hear nothing. And it seems to increase with speed. I have had bearings go out before but they never sounded like this. So I am going to replace the fronts with MOOG bearings. Thanks for the input. I will report back with my findings.

Big true on that difficulty diagnosing noise issues. This one started out as a suspected engine noise, and it now it is suspecting the wheel bearings. Hopefully the bearings will resolve it.

I don't see how bearing would make any ticking noises. Might be a good idea to pay good mechanic to find the problem, and than fix it yourself. But of course even good mechanic might make mistake. Make a video clip with that ticking sound and post it here.
