Noise while turning and accelerating
These past few months I’ve had this noise coming from my front left wheel well and it’s driving me crazy trying to figure out what it is. I drive an 06 Acura TL auto. It is winter here and not sure if it’s maybe ice build up somewhere because when I’ve washed it, it seems the noise goes away when I test it out on turns. I’ve found a video with the sound that seems to be the same as mine. Comments don’t seem to fully have an answer.

Happens only when turning and accelerating? Most likely bad CV joint.
Not the best video, but you can hear the sound of bad axle:
But like with all of suspension noise, it's always a good idea to lift the car and 'shake' the wheel. Make sure that all other components, like upper or lower ball joint, and tie rod, are OK.

Just had my left one replaced and had the right one replaced a while back. At least for me - the sound is more obvious during the Winter because the remaining lubricant in the joint hardens / thickens and doesn't do it's job. Part cost for either side is roughly $280 and 45 mins on a lift if you know what you are doing or roughly an hour of labor in a shop.

It could be as simple as a dragging brake caliper if that's the case.
