occasionally within a mile of starting on any trip, sometimes right away, i hear a light knocking noise that seems to be coming from the left side of the car. i can only hear it at low speed, under 30mph. it is intermittent, and doesn't happen all the time. i've only been aware of it the last 3 weeks. i've had the car for only 7 months, and do not remember the noise back then. it happens on the straightaway, or in a turn.
