This can cause a vibration in the front suspension that transfers to the vehicle.

The noise a damaged outer cv joint makes is a clicking noise with a metallic tone:
If a worn, or damaged cv joint is the issue, and depending on how extensive the damage, you will notice the following things about the sound: It does sound more like a brake disk problem. Whenever a cv joint is heard clicking, it should be promptly replaced for safety.
However, if there is any sort of humming noise, the reason can lie with the bearings being an overload of the weight of the car. If you put off replacing them for too long, the bearings will fall out. Once moisture and dirt get into a cv joint and grease makes its way out, the cv joints days are numbered.
