Clicking/ticking at low acceleration, what is is??

97 3.0 V6 Ranger RWD
The noise seems to be coming from the front driver side. It is absent at idle, and while cruising. It does get faster as rpms increase but doesn’t seem to get louder, so it’s hard to tell if it stops at higher rpms or I just can’t hear it.. An interesting note while in Park and Neutral the sound doesn’t appear. No rocks in tire, I replaced wheel bearings only a few months ago so and it shouldn’t be that. The closest thing I can think of that sounds like it is if you lift a bicycle off the ground and spin the wheel, it sounds JUST like the wheel moving the chain. I just don’t get it lol

It feels like it drives just fine, it’s just annoying and slightly worrisome! Lol

Exhaust leak? Loose plug wire?
