Default low knocking sound when turning A4 01

Hi, i was just wondering if anyknow knows what causes this. when you accelerate to move as your wheel is tilted either to left or right you get this very low pitch knocking noice for a sec or two then it stops as you straighten the wheel sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesnt, does anyone know what this could be from? is it rubbing against something ? Thanks

does it sound like when your joints pop if you move the wrong way i.e. knees and elbows??

+1 for the CV joint. You should hear a clicking sound only when you're turning, not when you're going straight.
