Noise when lightly accelerating

Hopefully someone can pinpoint where this noise is coming from. I would search but not sure what to type into the search bar. I get this noise that sounds like an old car starter when i am lightly stepping on the gas pedal and keeping the RPM's at a constant level. It is def coming from the front of the car, and i believe mostly on the right side. Once i let go of the gas pedal, the sound goes away.

An example would be that im driving on a stretch of road at a constant 25 mph and keeping my foot on the gas and the sound will come up for about 5-10 seconds, then go away. While keeping the same speed, the sound will come back again and go away. Any idea what it could be? Thanks.

ive had the same issue for as long as I've had the car (2 months), I think it's injector/lifter chatter but I could be (and probably am) wrong.

I will try my best to get an audio recording but fear that the phone won't be able to pick it up as i'm driving. Hopefully someone can chime in that knows what i am referencing. Does this have anything to do with the wheel hub?
