Can you describe the noise? Does is happen on turns or only under heavy acceleration?

It sounds like a bad CV joint. Lift the front of the car (safely) and grab the axles to see if there is play up and down at the joint.

Let me know what you find. Also, see if there is play at the weel too. This could be an bearing too.
