Default name that sound...

Hey everyone. I have a quick question that someone knows the answer to I'm sure. I'm hearing a sort of clicking sound coming from the front wheel somewhere when I start out on my bike. If I pull in on the brake a little bit, it goes away. I'm thinking I need new brake pads but I could be wrong. Anyone know what that sound is?

I have no clue, but you can jack up the front of the bike and spin the tire to see if you can hear the click noise and follow the sound.

jack it up and spin the wheel, ifyou hear noise as the wheel spin, then it is the wheel bearing.
