I would check your brake pads, rotors, and caliper for proper function. Then check the dust cover for corrosion build up and touching the disc.
As for the torque value for the cv shaft it is 305 ft lb.
Thanks for the ideas.

Its not the brakes. It does it when the brakes are applied or when they are not. My guess right now is that it might be something on the front suspension that was not tightened down to spec based on what I have recently read. I did have CV boots replaced this year but cannot coincide the work to the noise. Easiest place for me to go now is just grab the torque wrench and go through each nut and bolt to make sure they are what they are supposed to be. At least I can rule that out then.
