Is it more of a ticking noise coming from underneath the car? I too am experiencing this when I shift and begin acceleration. At first I thought it might be a suspension thing but it doesn't occur if you rock the car just when you accelerate forward or backward. I Found a forum post where a few others have experienced this. They took the car in and discovered the rear axle needed to be replaced. I will be doing this in the near future just need to find the time to be without a car for a while. Do you have an extended warranty?
