Have you change any brake rotor recently, I had that problem when i got mine change, apparently the metal plate is touching the brake rotor. Used a screw driver to push it back and its gone

If it's stationary does it make the same noise? Sounds more like a power steer issue if it's while your moving then it can be your drop links castor bush anti lift bush sway bar bush or your cv joint if while doing a full lock makes a thud noise or clicking noise
