Strange Sound

Hey I've had my CX-7 for about 4000 miles now. Its been great and lots of fun. I would also like to add I get around 24-26 mpg as of now. I have noticed here lately that there is a popping sound that is barely audible and it seems to be going on on the right side of the car around the front right tire. I haven't noticed any performance issues and no lights or anything come on, but every now and then I'll hear something popping like a fluid boiling type sound, but when I check there doesn't appear to be anything wrong. I hear it even if it hasn't been driven very hard.

Any clue what it could be?
 
Try to isolate the conditions under which you hear this sound. Is it at turns, and if so, in which direction and at what turning radius? Is it at braking, accelerating, coasting, or random? Is it at smooth or rough road conditions? Is there any accompanying feeling you get in the ride or in the touch at the steering wheel? Have you got AWD, or FWD?

A little help in the description goes a long way in the diagnosis.
