Noise coming from front driver side wheel

Alright guys. So yesterday I was driving back home from work and there is this hill that I like to bomb down. I hit the gas all the way and its a lot of fun, but I have to turn probably 100 yards after the bottom of the hill. So naturally I hit the brakes and at that speed/distance I'm hitting the brakes pretty hard. Right after I let go of the brakes there is a noise that comes from the driver side front wheel well area. The sound is like a clunking noise that is in stride with the wheel rotation. If I speed up the noise repeats much faster and when I slow down it goes slower. The noise does not get worse during braking in fact it gets slower because the car is slowing down but after braking it gets worse. I wait 15 minutes and drive the car again under normal conditions, no hard braking etc... and no sound at all. I repeat some hard braking and the noise comes back same thing. Any ideas what this is? I took off the wheel and no visible signs. Thanks
