I have replaced the control arms, struts and springs and drive shafts on both sides of the car. But I am still hearing a sound like the cv joints are bad. What can it be?

Strut mounts can account for noise like that as well as a loose sway bar. There are tie rod ends and motor mounts to consider as well. If you have any kind of sub-frame structure bolted to the unibody, through insulators, those mounts should be inspected. The bottom line is, based on your description the noise is apparent enough that if you request a vehicle noise diagnostic, the responding certified mechanic will pinpoint the origin of the noise and get this resolved for you.
