Wheel studs, for sure. Same thing happened to me. 4 snapped off within 2 days off each other. The clicking noise would only happen if power was applied, or on certain angles, or even coasting (not pressing accelerator at all) under 2000rpm in gear.

Check that all wheel nuts are on properly and tightly. To do this, jack up each corner of the car (one at a time) and remove the wheel, put it back on, and take care to tighten each wheel nut properly.

While you're doing that, check that the thread on the studs is ok. If not, have them replaced.

Actually, the other thing it could be would be a CV? But I'd say wheel studs & nuts.

P.S. Check it out ASAP. Go home from work or whatever you're doing today and jack it up and check. I was very lucky, I only had 1 wheel stud left on my rear wheel when it happened to me. I got it towed home from there and fixed her up.
