Turn the stereo up and it will go away. lol. I would get it up in the air and take a peek. Better to check it out before it gets to bad.

Better describe the sound...
When it happens.... left turns? right turns? accelerating, decelerating, braking? rough road? smooth road?

As others mentioned already, more information is needed. Just on the surface here, does this noise happen when going over bumps or via driveways? If so, its probably just a sway bar bushing which are cheap and easy to replace.

Guessing you've got a wheel bearing issue.
