Clicking noise when accelerating

If it's in the rear? CV joint going bad. I cant tell how old ur car is? I have slight vibration in rear. I'm going to change both axles. It's not the tires, I change to other set, still have it. I changed both front bearing hubs.
Not normal. Can you tell if it creaks when braking (non-regen) as well? You can change your stopping mode to ROLL and see. I think it sounds like a suspension joint is loose or wasn't greased well enough. e.g. Ball joints or bushings on the control arms or tie rod ends.
CV joints are usually a 'click click click click' as that wheel rotates not once and done.
Regardless, its worth bringing in to a SC.
If you are the mess-around-yourself type, you can lift that corner of the car and give the wheel a tug. Top to bottom, front to back, & in and out. Then if you can locate the creak, grab the suspension part and give it a pull to confirm. Probably need to remove the wheel or get underneath for that part. (jackstands please). Take a video and have it ready for the service center.

hahaha. i know exactly what this is. thats more of a creaking than a clicking though. your AXLE NUT is very slightly loose. If you have a socket that big you can do it yourself in a few seconds. otherwise go to the service center, they'll confirm and then tighten it for you.
Its not dangerous or anything, its just very very slightly loose. I tightened my cousin's 100D axle nut for the exact same sound under acceleration and fixed it in 5 seconds.

Thank you for your reply.
The creaking noise disappeared when I switch the regen from standard to low. It is either completely disappeared or reduced quite a bit. Is it because some regen module is bad or because the light regen causes less roll so some parts are not creaking as they used to?
I am the mess around myself guy so I want to fix it by myself if possible. Is there any particular part that I want to grease if this regen causes the creaking noise?
I really appreciate your help!

I’m hearing a clicking noise too with slight acceleration/regen. What is the torque spec for the axel nut? I recently had front shafts replaced so wondering if they were not properly torqued (??).

I popped the hubcap covers and torqued the nuts to 180ftlb but didn’t fix the clunk. Would removing the nuts, clean, and lubing the hubs/spines help in this case?
