USA Tire noise problem??

I have a 03 Corolla S and have BFG directional tires on my car, 7k on them...A couple weeks ago I hit a cat(a black one) that I couldn't avoid it shot under my front passenger side wheel...it went ka-thump and sounded like it spun around my wheel well once ...The next day I noticed a road noise coming from that side, I checked it out and found my plastic wheel well guard was sprung out, no big thing I just snapped it back in. Then the noise kept getting louder so I took it to my tire shop and had them check the tire...We both went over the tire with a fine tooth comb, nothing wrong..the wheel well was fine also so he re-balance the tire it was just a little off...Since then the road noise has gotten worse and it not my brakes because when I apply the peddle it still makes that sound? ITS DRIVING ME FRIGGIN NUTS any suggestions??? I just had the tires rotated and balanced 2K ago. It really sounds like I have a small bulge/bump but I couldn't find it and the cat was small not like a dog or a racoon, possum...HELP..thanks....RADD GUY

This sounds like the same problem I have on a 2005 Corolla European model. A small tapping noise goes on an off with the months, and I cannot get it fixed. Car repair said there was nothing, tire repair said tire and pressure are ok, but I can hear it even at low speeds.
I'm just afraid that it would wear some parts in excess and cause trouble later, I agree with you, who can fix that thing, or give some suggestion?
