Is your car lowered? Could be fouling the arch liners.

Does it sound like scraping or a thud?

have the same problem,and I managed that noise coming from the grill (where windscreen wiper mounted). Gonna disassemble it when it'll bit warmer.
Try to shake your car by hands and listen,to localise the sound

Ok, my knowledge of all things mechanical is shocking so please excuse my description here but i had what sounds like a similar problem and was a stupidly simple fix.

Lift the bonnet up and check the metal plate directly infront of the engine/engine cover. I think its the fuel rail, or at least a cover for it (may be totally wrong) but noticed this was lose so tightened it. Can't hear the noise anymore so must have been the problem in my case so is worth a shot
