Clutch Noise?

My 2006 S3 is making noise when I accelerate. It is on the right side only when in motion. No noise when I turn the throttle when stopped. It is a metallic noise like a clinking or clattering. No performance issues. Maybe nothing, just thought I would check.
Thanks

It could be detonation caused by poor fuel quality, this offten sounds like a mettalic rattle. Try a better grade fuel or an octane booster.

Double check your oil level. In the thread I had going on my bike I had some knocking on the right side. Granted it was at stand still and not while moving like yours, but getting the oil level just right seems to have at least contributed to eliminating the knocking noise coming from the right side of my motor.

(dblhelx I think you pointed this out initially)
