Funny noise

[HH66]

I took my Cube Cross hybrid for a ride yesterday and it seems to have developed a clunky rattle which I think is coming from the front wheel. I can only hear it at speed, it continues when I freewheel and I can't seem to recreate it by just spinning the wheel. I thought the mudguard was catching but it's not. I've checked spokes and brakes and can't spot anything wrong. Anybody have any suggestions?

Could still be the spokes, try a drop of oil in each spoke nipple this has worked for me several times. Give them a good tug and check none are actually broken I had one that appeared fine until I moved it

Thanks. I'll have a closer look at them.
