have you taken your wheel off and looked, just to see if something is stuck somewhere?

Did you clean the wheel hub? Having rust and grit in between the hub and the rotor can cause noise.

Maybe one of the pad retainer springs could have snapped off and what you hear is the pad slapping against the caliper/rotor or inside of the wheel rim. May also be caused by a missing shim(s). Pull the tires and check.
