Something wrong with the brakes? Where's it coming from??

Is the tapping regular and does its speed increase with vehicle speed?
Increases with the speed and is louder when i brake
I'll say it again then:

Sound like front passenger wheel
Whip the wheels off, I would, and have a look at the brakes.

Need to pick up a jack. Is it safe to drive
I don't know, and I'm not going to tell you yes, am I? :)
I wouldn't go too silly though in case a pin has come out and your pads are about to fall on the road. You could have a quick look if you the turn the wheels one way then t'other - just to see if everything looks ok in the stopping dept..
While it's up in the air have a look at the driveshaft boots and also give the wheels a wobble, top to bottom, to see if there's any play in the wheel bearings.
