I TOOKS IT OFF TO TAKE A PEAK TODAY ACTUALLY THE SOUND ONLY COMES WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE DISK. IF I HIT THE SUSPENSION OR THE AXLE THERE IS NO RATTLE

Well, you made the right call there already.

If it goes away when on the brakes, it sounds like it brake related.

When you took the wheel off did you see anything loose or hanging? Could you isolate the aread the sound was coming from? Are your pads worn or do they look ok?

I had the same problem, I had my car inspected in May and they said I needed new rotors and brake pads after they replaced them there was no more noise.
