Only way to find out is to get the car up on a lift and see if you can move the wheel around to isolate the noise. It might be the cv but my first thought is wheel bearing. If so at least do both fronts. Good Luck!

Brian is right about the wheel bearings. That's a common problem on these Ford Explorers.
