Default Regular metallic "ting" noise

As per title I get a metallic "ting" noise coming from the left exterior of the car when setting off or coming off the gas. It's as if the jerk/transfer of weight is the trigger. It's started doing it over the last week or so but it's a hard one to track down as the car is on the move when it does it. It does it regularly. Could it be something to do with the brakes/calipers? I'm a bit lost . Thanks in advance.

My clutch pedal makes a "ting" noise. Is it when you use the clutch?

Have you had pads fitted at the stealers recently?

It could be a 'caliper bolt' has fallen out ?

Caliper hitting/rubbing on the wheel?

If it was more of a metallic creak/click it would be the classic hub nut problem. You hear that with a change of direction of drive.

Defo not related to clutch. What's the best way to check caliper and hub nuts? Get the wheel off a look or would I be able to see without taking the wheel off? Not had any brake work done at steelers recently. Last thing done by them outside of engine compartment was diff and gear box oil a couple of months back.

MMm from doing a search hub nuts could be the issue though I'm not convinced. Will check calipers but will likely take to Honda to get the hub nuts replaced unless anyone comes up with other explanations. Thanks again.
