    Sounds like the CV joint.
    Does it happen only when you turn sharpish to one side, only left for instance?
    Does it sound when you go straight?

    So it's there when you turn/go straight/stand still with engine going? CV joint only sound when car is moving/turning.

    Is it two noises or one? What car is this? Year/model.

    Sounds like a suspension bushing or ball joint. possibly an anti-roll bar bushing. Could also be a track rod end. Either way its not good and you should take it to a good mechanic for sorting. An independant mechanic won't charge you too much.

    Just saw the op's post, sounds like you need a new lower arm for the front suspension. Should be ok until sat. Just take it easy in the meantime.
