Default Banging Noise during Acceleration

A couple days ago my car has had this awful noise coming from the engine compartment. It sounds like a fan is hitting something while spinning (although I don’t think that’s what it is). It happens during any kind of acceleration at first...then once I let off and try the same acceleration it wont do it or it will be a lot quieter. Could this be a belt slipping or any kind of belt issue? I don’t think it’s an internal engine issue because it doesn't happen during every acceleration...and the engine runs fine and doesn't feel like it has reduced power. Any ideas what’s wrong??

Thanks,

Is your car a manual ?
If yes , go to higher rpm before shifting to next gear ...
