My car started to make clicking or ticking noise

I just heard the ticking/clicking noise. I did not think it came from the engine compartment because I did not hear the noise when the car stop. I will hear that noise when I drive only at a constant speed. This morning I drove around 40-50 mph and I heard it. It does not making noise all the time. I am thinking my front driver's wheel bearing might need to be changed.

My Civic 04 VP has 84k miles on it already.

do you think it is the bearing problem?

If it is the bearing, will you change them both left + right?

Thanks guys.

If it's speed constant it's the bearing. Most people just change the bad one.

Just a thought but I picked up a nail once that created this sort of problem. Have a hard look at your tread and see if there's something caught in there.

Thanks lazlong. I will observe it a bit.
Thanks Stock 99, I did check. There's no nail on the tire. I hope there won't be anything with the front suspension. : )
