Default Clicking noise when pressing gas

Today while driving I noticed a clicking noise while pressing the gas, it comes from directly under the car, would anybody have a clue of what it is?

Since the vehicle is drive-by-wire, the gas pedal is basically a fancy variable on/off switch.It pivots and has resistance like a traditional gas pedal, but has no cable, rather an electrical connector.
If you hear a noise when pressing the pedal, I would suggest to start looking at the pedal...make sure nothing is contacting or interfering with the pedal.

He said he hears it when pressing the gas... Pretty sure it cant be any of those listed.

Do you have a sound clip or anything of the noise?

I don't have a video, but this only happens when the car is in drive/ and coming to a stop or taking off

But when you're coming to a stop you're not on the gas...when you're taking off you are.
