    Jack up and support the vehicle properly. Spin the front wheels one at a time and see if you can determine which side the noise is coming from.If you can determine which side the noise is coming from remove that wheel and look for a "witness mark" what ever is rubbing has probably left a mark. Look for a sign of rubbing on the brake dust shield behind the rotor and make sure the brake shims and anti rattle hardware are all fitted correctly.
