Default anyone know what this weird sound my car is making is?

at very low speeds with the windows down its a clicking sound from my right wheel well that at first i just thought was a rock stuck in my tire, but its clear that its not becuase sometimes theres more then one click per rotation. At higher speeds with the windows up it sounds like a repetative thumping that increases with rotation and becomes a very loud droning hum at high speeds, when im at medium speeds i just get a loud thump thump thump with every rotation.... any ideas?

Broken tire belt? But that wouldn't "click". Is there any vibration to speak of with it?
