Default 2004 RX 330 Ticking Sound

To be honest, I'm not sure what's the problem. There is a ticking/clicking sound somewhere on the right side of the car while I'm driving. A couple things about this:

1. You can only hear it when the window is rolled down.
2. It's clear that only the right side makes this 'clicking' or 'ticking' sound.
3. It's either non-existent or faint <18mph or <30kmph, but from 18-40mph or 30-60kmph, it gets progressively louder. After that, you can't hear it because of all the wind coming in from the windows.

Does anyone know what the sound is? And should it be replaced/fixed?

Did you end up getting any kind of solution to this?

Nope, but that's ok. I might just bring it into the shop then.

If the ticking matches the speed with the revving of your engine then it's in the engine. If the ticking goes along with the speed your traveling then it's in the wheels.
