I noticed a clicking sound yesterday that appears to come from the front driver side. Initially, I touhght it was a screw or bolt that got stuck in one of my tires, since the frequency of the noise increases with the speed of the wheels and not the engine. I verified my tires and it's not the issue. I also jacked up the car and spun the tires one at a time. I couldn't reproduce the noise this way. There needs to be some weight on the wheels or load on the drivetrain for the noise to appear. Steering the wheels either left or right doesn't affect the sound. It's there wether I do forward, backward or I turn left or right.
I uploaded a clip to Youtube:

You can hear the noise twice, at 1 and 6 seconds when the wheel is in the same position.
Any clue as to what could be causing this noise?
Note that I changed both my CV axles about 3 weeks ago due to torn boots. I went against everyone's advice and got Cardone HD CV axles, in order to minimize downtime. My plan is to eventually reboot my stock CV axles and reinstall them if/when I have issues with the Cardone.
