There is a sound coming from the front passenger wheel, Replaced brake pads and didn't help. While replaceing pads I checked for a bad wheel bearing and cv joint both seemed fine, wheel not abnormal loose or tight the cv joint had a little oil on it but otherwise the simple test of shaking the wheel seemed to produce nothing wrong.

I was asking you if it changed going left to right because if it did then you would have a bad wheel bearing but that does not appear to be the case. It sounds like you have a bent backing plate that is hitting the rotor. Try when you have the front end of car on jack stands remove pass wheel and reinstall lug nuts to rotors to keep it straight then rotate the rotor to try to duplicate the noise. You might see the metal backing plate touching the rotor. Then just bend it away.
