Noise Under Car When Accelerating

I have an '01, 3.0 with a very weird noise coming from under the car. Its a sharp mechanical-slipping noise that can be heard and felt only when I accelerate moderate to hard from a standstill, whether fwd or rev. Its not a clunk, but more like a clink sound that increses in frequency depending on how much throttle I use and lets up as the momentum of car increases.

Sounds like that straining mechanical noise you hear/feel when fully engaging your ABS, but louder and apperas to come from the bottom rear, middle and other times from the front. I can avoid the problem by being ginger on the throttle. Performance itself does not seem afected though hard to tell. Noise definitly coming from undercarriage and loud enough to be heard by pedestrians.

Can noise be related to self leveling system, or torque converter or transfer case?

Any thoughts?
