Default Click/tick from front of car

If I take off from a stop on second to third gear changes I can hear a single metallic sounding click tick from the front of the car.

if I am coasting at 20-22 mph then hit the gas pedal I can recreate the click, when the car chassis shifts a little front to back under load.

its a single click and then it’s gone.

no noise when going over bumps at all.

seems to be tied to suspension when car is under brief load or brakes.

i had akebono pads replaced 10 months ago and started noticing the tick around that time. Also had tires replaced around same time as well.

i can drive through my neighborhood at 20 mph and hit the gas and recreate the sound whenever I need to.

any suggestions?

car is a 2017 is350 f sport with 33k miles.

check for any nails or bolts on the tires, also check to make sure nothing is dangling under the car.
