Hi there, my ride is a 06' Honda Accord CL7. Recently, while in a jam I notice there is a "clacking" noise when travelling at low speed (from 0 to 30km/h). Anyone out there can help me on this?

If this noise is still there look in the tread of your tires. Then either move the car foward so you can see the rest of the tread. Sometimes a stone or metal object become lodged in the tire and make this noise. If you find something, gently wiggle the object with your ear nearby and listen for an air hiss. If this happens goto a tire shop before removing.
Torn CV boots will not cause clacking, and they do not require the axle be changed. You should replace a torn boot as soon as possible to keep the axle knuckle (Constant Volocity Joint) from getting water in it and going bad.
If the clacking is very pronounced with wheel turned then the CV Joint is bad and then the axle would need to be replaced.

My old mans car recently had the exact same problem. At low speed it sounded like a roulette wheel. At high speed it shut up. Similiar to the stone in the tread it turned out to be the branch from an Aussie gum tree stuck in the European frame of an imported Holden. So stick your head under the bonnet son & start noseying around. But remember not to grab any new shiney black hoses with a red stripe down one side coz they bite.

If the noise is loudest when turning, then you have a torn CV axle boot, which requires the replacement of the axle.
Edit: yes.... If the boot on a CV joint is torn, and it is clacking that means that the internals have been rubbing on themselves from lack of grease. At this point, re-greasing and replacing the boot on a CV joint thats worn is just silly.

Could be the plastic clips that hold the hubcaps in place. Mine did that and when I put the front ones on the back, the noise went with the wheel it was mounted on.

do you have full wheel covers or hub caps if you do pull off the cap on the wheel you think it is and put some axle grease on the metel clips that hold the cover to the rim put back on and go if not you could have a cracked rim good luck

My father had this with his 01 Accord, it turned out to be a slight problem with something inside the front axle

Wheel bearing might be the culprit. Have your dealer toss it on the lift, they'll diagnose it. Just had mines replaced. No more noise.

It may be caused by the fan hitting the fan shroud That is the plastic cover around the fan
