You need to find a better mechanic.
It's probably your brake pads rattling around inside the caliper, since you say it stops making the noise when press the brakes.

Did he check the strut bushing?
Try to recreate the driving condition that causes the noise. Once that condition is isolated, slow/fast speed, wheel straight/steep angle, or up/level/or down hill, the problem becoms easier to diagnose.

The control arm bushings get bad on those things and sound pretty clunky. You need to go to an alignment place and shell out the $50 for a real inspection.
