Do you only hear the noise when turning the wheel? Have the control arm bushings been checked?

the noise is only when turning the wheel whether moving or not

Based on your description, I would say have the control arm bushings checked.

I wonder if it couldn't also be a strut mount bushing.

Are you refering to the strut plate on the top?

It could be. Usually, they cause a clattering or a clunking over bumps.
