Default "slapping" noise around fender when turning back and forth

Hi,

I have a 2005 Toyota Celica. I hear a "slapping" noise when I swerve
the car a bit. It sounds very much like a piece of hose smacking up
against metal. It appears to be coming from the area around the front
passenger side fender. I removed the plastic protector under the fender
and found the hose that carries the windshield wiper fluid to the back
window. Sure enough one (or more) of the clamps that secures it in
place around the fender was gone. I threaded some cable ties through
various holes to firmly secure the hose and figured I'd solved the
problem. However, the noise is still there. I can not see anything
else that could be producing this noise and am hoping someone here might
have some advice about this.

Thanks.

Thank, I can check it. I sort of doubt that is the source though just
given the location and "style" of noise.
