Please help me fix a problem, strange noise

i have a 2004 civic ex and for some reason it just started making a weird clicking sound (hard to explain) but sounds like its coming from my front right tire well and it will go for maybe 30 seconds only while driving, if im stopped i wont hear it. but then after a little bit i wont hear it again unless i turn off my car for a little while and then go again, also i dont know if this has anything to do with it, but it also makes weird humming sound when i reverse (not the normal reverse sound) quite loud and once again will stop if i stop, please help! thank you!

Sounds like nails on a chalkboard? Pad wear indicator squeal?

CV joint boots split open and lost the grease, joints clicking now?
Just guessing.

Someone knowledgeable ought to drive it, get under it, and take a real look.

That's entirely up to you.
If you can't get under it to look around, then someone else probably needs to.

All I can do is guess from here.
None of us can hear what you hear, and none of us can see your car.
