Default weird Knocking sound! need help!!

There is this annoying squeak/Knocking sound coming from what seams like my front left wheel well. its really loud... i can get it to go away if i make a complete stop. but then maybe 1/4 of a mile later it starts up again. It started doing this yesterday when i was on the highway, when i heard it I pulled over and looked under my truck but found nothing. then for the rest of the day I didn't hear anything. but now its happening more often and its really annoying me does anyone have any idea on what this might be
