Angry This brake noise is driving me up the wall

Recently replaced all brakes (rotors, pads and hoses) and wheel bearings as well as most other suspension pieces. The car rides ten times better. Lately, I,ve noticed a clack clack clack clacking sound coming from the driver's side front wheel. The frequncy of the clacking depends on the speed. I don't feel it much in the steering wheel and the sound dissappears when I brake. Braking performance is still very good. Brake dust has accumulated more on this wheel than the others.
I suspect a warped rotor. Could there be a chance that this has anything to do with the caliper? How could a rotor warp so soon? Is there anything else I can check or do to eliminate this sound? Is driving under this condition unsafe?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
