Trying to fix two dumb issues today (so far I have failed)

My 2010 V8 Vantage has two annoying issues. A Tick, Tick, Ticking when making low speed turns from the passenger side front wheel well when the wheel if near fully turned and a high pitch vibration sound at exactly 2800 RPM from the passenger side rear of the car.

I have the car up on a lift and I have tried to diagnose both issues, but the car is not making either sound when lifted, I took the car both in and out of gear to 3,000RPM with no vibration sound. I see nothing that the wheel could be hitting for the first sound and nothing looks loose on the exhaust. These two issues are driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

Try looking for small stones stuck in or around the brake discs (rotors)

+1, I had a similar issue a few years ago. As a new owner nearly panicked....It was like something was coming apart. After some advise on this forum. I found a small rock lodged in the rotor. Removed it and all good since. I hope whatever it is, its a simple fix for you.

Do you have wheel spacers installed? I had a similar issue with the passenger front. I ended up pulling the spacers off, cleaning them as well as the hub, and reinstalling with anti-seize around the hob and bore of the spacers. Clicking has been gone since.
