Are you still under warranty? If so, anything inside the transmission is expensive. Take it into the dealer.
It is an auto. I can hear the noise when coasting then pressing gas pedal and happens after depressing gas pedal as well. I can hear it in sports mode but I think it happens in comfort as well but maybe not as loud. Also, it doesn't seem to happen when starting off from rest.

The car is still under warranty for a few more years but before taking it in I want to try and pinpoint this to at least a general area. Noises are some of the worst problems to have because in some cases they are almost impossible to diagnose. I am going to try and capture this noise and hopefully post a clip of it soon.

I really appreciate your suggestions!
