Default Metallic sparking noise from left wheel O_o

From dead stop to accelerating (only accelerating) up to around 20mph ish, there is an audible metallic sparking noise from the front driver wheel area. It's like an irregular clicking/ clacking/ sparking/ metallic noise.

Bad axle?

could be a bad hub bearing but id say axle too. best way to check is to drive around in circles with the wheel all the way turned at like 15 mph and hit the gas on and off...a bad axle will click only when youre on the gas and go away when you let up

are your rotors rusted, or are your pads down to metal?

check to make sure the dust cover on the back side of the rotor isnt bent and making contact with it

Thanks for the input

Rotors are fine. I tried bending the dust cover a little and it seems to have reduced the noise a little. I think it may be the source.. because when I change its position, the noises come up in different variations.
