Typically this is the noise I get too. Very random. Always makes you think something is broken. And always at low speed. There's a parking lot at work that has lots of small pebbles, almost sand, laying around. I get it every single time. As long as it isn't consistent. You can also pry the dust shield back a touch for more clearance.

On the other side of that, have you hit any deep puddles of water lately? I did once. Didn't realize that area of the road was flooded out and hit it at 45mph. Bent the shield under the drive shaft into the drive shaft. Anytime under engine braking the shaft would shift down and scrape. It was not immediately evident. You have to look for it.

But right now I'm betting on pebbles.
