I am so F**KING retarded. Shroomster, you saved my Yaris from doing a face plant. I checked the lugnuts to be on the safe side. Apparently I never did tighten the front tires with the tire iron. All of the nuts were so loose I could turn them with my thumb and finger. I still haven't driven it yet, but hopefully that was the cause of the mysterious sound.

Welcome to the club - of us lucky ones who found it BEFORE the face-plant.
Not on the Yaris, many many years ago....
