Default Unidentified noises...Please HELP!!!

I have 2 unknown noises coming from my 99 Civic EX...The first one the best i can tell is coming from the front drivers side wheels area. When i put the car in gear (this is a manual tranny by the way) and start moving forward or reverse i hear a ping almost a tick like a cotter pin getting flicked with by something but once im moving it stops its only in the first rotation of the wheel...the second noise comes from the passenger side when the car is cold it sounds like something is draging on the ground it also sounds just like brake pads rubbing on the calipers only supper loud but after about a minute it goes away as well. This all started happening about 2 weeks after getting my new cambers kits and getting an alignment. Please help...where should i look? tranny, axels, wheels, brakes, wheel bearing?

Thanks

As far as the dragging sound...

Check to make sure that your pads are ok and that possibly the inside pad hasn't been the pad that is taking all the wear or that it is stock in there sideways causing one side to wear more than the other.

I have no idea on the first noise.

Yeah the first noise is hard to explain so i dont blame you on that one... I will check the pads tonight and see how they look. Should i just be looking for uneven wear anything else? The noise coming from the passenger side makes that brake pad grinding noise after making some aggressive turns as well hope this helps with more information on my noises. Any other ideas ?

Thanks
