Default Question about this clanging/steel noise

So i'm not sure how to describe this noise. It sounds like steel rubbing against each other or clanging.

I hear it while driving/accelerating, not just braking. I don't hear it in idle.

I hear it every now and then, but then I make a sharp turn and it goes away?

I don't think it's from engine

it sounds like it's coming from passenger side wheel. A few weeks ago i had a cv joint leak and replaced the boot, i don't think it's the joint. It sounds like metal, something spinning as i'm driving and spins faster as i drive faster. I have no clue what it could be.

I tried to record sound, but after i made the sharp turn it stopped making the sound

Sounds like the wheel bearing to me. Mine started going in my coupe after sitting for over a year, and made a loud grinding noise like that. Yet if I could turn the wheel just right while driving it would go away. I replaced both of them and now it's a lot quieter.

My noise was the bracket for the exhaust right near the oil pan on a b18c cracked and was rubbing on the driveshaft only during acceleration.

ok, so it's not an axle/joint thing is it?

check the metal backing plates behind the rotors, they bend easily and may be ratteling or rubbing.

One time when I put new pads on it did that because they were slightly larger. It has also happened when a wheel speed sensor was loose and actually ended up braking off, which is a horrible sound to hear when you're on the highway.
