Jacked up the car,pulled the rt. front wheel. Nothing loose that would make the noise we hear.
Rear side inner fender liner is torn and loose at the bottom. Doesn't make the same noise.
There is a little fitting on the front flange of the lower control arm, about 7 inches inboard from the outer end of the flange. It has a little ball on it and looks like some kind of socket would attach to it, like rear view mirrors used back before they glued them to the windshield. It's only suspicious because it is perfectly clean and slightly bent. But whatever might have been attached there is gone, so it can't rattle. No matching fitting on the left side of the car.
The noise we are concerned about is almost like a heat shield, but I don't see any heat shields in that area and tapping everything I could reach didn't reproduce the noise. And the noise relates to wheel rotation.
