I did get an alignment and it was done by the Lexus dealer, they didn't mention anything to me. That being said, before it was aligned, the steering was really off, but the noise wasn't that bad. After the alignment, the noise became more prevalent, but for the most part went away after a few minutes of driving.

So today driving home it was pouring and I heard no noise. So I'm guessing it's a lubrication issue with something?

Are you by any chance running 3 piece rims? I recently had a progressively loud clicking noise that got worse when I made right hand turns and accelerating from a complete stop.
Thought it was the front bearing going bad but it turned out that a few bolts on my 3 piece rims were loose and allowed my rim to flex causing that clicking noise.
I found this problem when I removed that specific 3 piece wheel and place another wheel on... only to find that the clicking noise is completely gone!! I then placed that same suspected wheel back on and the noise came back.
I ended up stripping and rebuilding the rim and noise disappeared for a solid month so far!! Hope this is of some help.
