Knocking noise from under hood

I recently had a noise coming from under the hood when accelerating but quit when you let off the gas. The faster you go the faster the sound. The sound would start at about 15 mph and increase. The car has about 80000 miles on it.

- The sound is coming from the drivetrain area. engine runs great at all times just when you start off in gear does it make a sound

ok the lifters are making noise, make sure you are using the right oil for your temp zone. also add some lucas oil to your engine oil, it will quiet down the engine.
