I have this noise, and have searched for the answer here on NAM. There is a thread that suggests re-setting the torque on the front bearing nuts, which I did, but this did not help (new nuts, too!) Oh well. I can't hear it when I have the windows up... it happens almost exactly at 12 miles per hour.

cheers,

12? Thats when the ABS self-test occurs and the auto door locks lock (if programmed).

Do you have the Web Spoke wheels? I understand that some of these were not put together correctly from the factory (they are two piece wheels) and as a result click. Should be replaced under warranty if so.

That would be my guess, except I don't understand why it happens only at one speed.
