    i agree, could be a worn joint. can someone hear it next to the car when you hit the gas?

    With the car in park (and parking brake not applied) try rocking the car forward and backward to see if you can recreate the noise. Might be a bad cv joint, maybe some looseness between the outer cv joint splines and the hub (usually if the axle nut is not fully torqued), or something else.
