lol...WIERD!....I had the same problem and I was panicking too.

Questions:

Have you driven over loose gravel recently?
It's only one side right?
Seems to speed up as you accelerate and at some point you don't hear it at all?


My situation:

Where I work, it's a gravel drive way. Recent events were that it had been raining and I would get mud in the wheel wells. Driving home, the water from the rain swept roads would wash all or most of the mud away. The next day or so, I started to hear a clink clink sound, speeding up as I acclerated.

I stopped and looked every place, turned the wheels even, I didn't see anything. I had thought I took one too many dips too quickly and the habit finally caught up with me IE...I did something bad to the suspension.

SKIP TO HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THE ABOVE:

When I had time, I took the tire off and looked around the entire area, even spun the rotors. Yep, it was a pebble that was stuck on the inside of the rotor and it was bouncing against the brake guard. At higher speeds it just got stuck to the inside of the rotor because of centrifigal forces.

Same for you?

I just took off the caliper and pawed the pebble loose. STUPiD PEBBLE.
