Default Help!!

I recently returned from my trip to Virginia (600 mile drive). I was on my way back and noticed a clicking noise bouncing off the walls on acceleration from the toll plaza. Its been clicking ever since. I have checked the search feature but i cannot seem to put together what the problem is from all the different answers. Any reason for the clicking?

Need more info. Car details for a start. Only on acceleration? Varies with speed? With rpm?

Default where does it seem to be coming from?

Wheel well?
Engine?

Does it while coasting at high speeds?
Occurs when you down shift at high speeds?
When you rev at a stand still?

Cel?

It seems to be coming from under the engine or or under the shifter. It does not tick while coasting. It does not tick when I downshift. It does tick when I rev the car at stand still.

Default So it clicks when accelerating and when revved while stopped? But not when coasting?

Does the click vary in rate with the rpms i.e. higher revs = faster click?
