Anyone know why my X is making this noise?

Anyone know what this noise is and is something wrong?
This noise happens when I'm turning left while accelerating. Any ideas?
Watch the video in HQ, otherwise the noise isn't too clear. It's the metallic clicking noise.

Thanks.

P.S. Also just FYI the car is complete stock other than the mudflaps and K&N drop-in airfilter. Has 3500 miles on it.


UPDATE:

The dealership replaced the input shaft and a few gears in the differential, they said the nose is gone now. They also
fixed some rubbing problems with a heat shield in the back. They are saying there are no longer noises. Will see when I pick the car up.

Brought it to the dealership the first time and they said it was the Rally Armor mudflaps. But I took them off and the sound was still there. Have an appointment tomorrow and they will look at it again. Was just wondering if you guys knew the noise so I could help the dealership narrow it down.

Also just fyi the car is complete stock other than the mudflaps and K&N drop-in airfilter.

Sounds like you might have something stuck in there and it is contacting a rotating part. In my experience, if something is mechanical you usually get more of a scraping sound.

If you don't want to take it straight to the dealer, try taking the wheels off and inspecting. Maybe something got caught in your dust shield. If it is not something obvious, take it in
