As it only does it during acceleration, I guess you can't put your head in the engine and pinpoint where it comes from?

I have got replies before saying that it is the wastegate, just want to clarify that I have got N52 engine. I don't feel like the sound is like the wastegate sound anyway.
The sound is like a very rapid metallic sound, only last for about a second. Somehow it's like the sound from the Disel engine.
I also noticed that sometimes this sound happens on other old Japanese cars too when they accelerate after a red traffic light.
The sound is getting louder when it happens, and I can tell how weird it is when I see how people stare at my car..
Really want to fix this before anything goes worse....
