Take out the center cap(s), bend the little tab things which hold the cap in place (when it's pushed into the wheel) so that there will be more tension.
If that doesn't fix it, check the list above:

I had loose center caps for the longest time before I realized what the sound was coming from.

Were you able to move the center cap by hand while the wheel was still on the car ?

Every time that I've had to work on a car that came from a mechanic, I've noticed just how much more they torque them, probably with an impact gun. At least they're nice enough not to do it on the locks. Which I think is even worse, because the whole point of using the same torque on each lug nut, is to evenly distribute the pressure of the wheel onto the brake rotors/hubs. If you do it unevenly, you're risking warping the brake rotors.
