i got TWO hard to explain sounds i can hear while driving my Gsi, so please bear with me.... 
1) in last year from front right suspension area, i hear a sort of Quick Click-Click sound when one side of car is higher or lower than other e.g braking over bumpy ground, speed bumps, driveway etc
suspension seems fine... Could it be the CV joints???
2) in last 2 months, i been getting a hard to explain sort of "LOW note constant Grinding/spining" sound which picks up a bit as i speed up, first it sounds like its coming from lower of engine area.. but i THINK its from front left "wheel" as when i turn hard/quick long right turn it seems to be bit more clear
could it be the wheel bearings???
any advice/opinions is helpfull, thanks

Get the car on stands at the front and put in 2nd an idle it. if it's a wheel bearing you'll hear it banging on that wheel. CV's generally grind etc.. on full lock or near it.

first noise sounds just like your abs functioning, but i guess you'd feel that from the pedal.
second sounds like bearing to me.
i need to replace a rear one, and it wines away, getting louder at higher speed.

first noise does sound like cv joint but youd usually noticed it under harsh acceleration in full lock!
Otherwise yep bearing!
