I have under 100.000 kms on this car, no major problems with it but the other day it started making a noise when accelerating, it sounds almost like a flat tire or something stuck in the tire without the vibration or feeling it in the tires or steering wheel, and sounds like it is at the front of the car?

Hello,

There could be several different factors for the noise.
First step would be to do a visual inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain components.
Look for any loose/broken components.
The CV axle can also make the noise when you drive. Look for any leak out of the CV boots.

Take a look at this article and go through these items:

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
