Default Noise coming from driver side wheel.

I just started experience this problem about 2 days ago, it was very windy and rainy outside and i kept hearing some kind of "duk duk duk duk duk" noise coming from the front wheel. It sounded like something is hitting against my tires or something, I cant figure out what it is at all, I checked the black plastic cover thing over my wheels but it cant reach the tire to hit it.

I dont know what else it could be, someone please help me?? Also could the noise be from a loose lug nut or something?? I shook one of the lugs on my front wheel and it was kind of wiggly, hopefully if I tighten it the noise will stop?? Well get back at me, thanks.

* oh yeah also, this noise only happens when im not stepping on the brakes or gas. when i accelerate the noise stops, i let go of the gas[letting the car just cruise] and den the noise starts again, i brake the noise stop, let go of the brakes, the noise comes again.

So you're saying you found a loose lug nut and didn't tighten it? I would never be able to do that. But that's just me. If you want, keep driving it like this, and hope that your wheel doesn't fall off. If it does, you'll be chasing it around like this guy did.

This is the sound of you not have all the lugs tighten right. Dont check just the one. Check all of them. If you want to be sure, jack the car up and move the wheel around, then you will find your problem.
