Check for play in all the front end pieces. Ball joints, tie rods, brake pads, caliper bushings, etc. It sounds like one (or more) of these is loose, and when you apply the brakes the loading takes up the slack and the noise goes away.

Here is something simple.

On the outboard brake pad there are some tabs. With the wheel off, see if this pad can be moved at all. If you can, pull the caliper off. Take this outboard pad off and bend the taps just enough to make a tight fit going back on the caliper.
