Ugly accelerator noise...
Heya everyone. My SC 300 has been running smoothly as of late(104,000 miles), but just a few days ago it started making a weird "click" noise when you would push down on the gas and the car was already in motion. So say you're moving, slow down, and then floor it. Right when you floor it, the noise occurs. Pretty much when you push down on the gas at any speed. Lately it's been happening more and it's beginning to make me worry. I'm having it checked out by the Lexus Dealership tomorrow and would love to be able to pinpoint the problem instantly.
Any help you guys could give would be great.

Edit: It also sounds like a slight grind as well. Same sound, but I'm trying to describe it a little better. The car itself is unaffected(I think) save for the noise, but it's extremely annoying.

I know I shouldn't double post, but anything? No one has an idea.
Note: I'm very aware that this isn't IM'ing and that replies won't come quickly, but this honestly has me very concerned.

Alright guys, I took it down to the dealership and the maintenance group discovered that it was the axel shaft. Thanks for helping out. Its been taken care of(I would have done it myself, but I lacked the tools), and now I'm good to go.
