Default Crackling noise

when accelerating from a stop to about 5 mph, something crackles. im not sure where exactly it comes from, but it only does this sound at low speeds, usually from a dead stop. any clues?[sm=smiley25.gif]

hmm maybe your car is resonating(i dont know if that is spelt right) but my car does that when i downshift into 1st. i don't know if it could do it when you accelerate in 1st
