Noise like a cv shaft is grinding/blow
I've got a problem...My tC seems to be making this creaking/ticking noise when I accelerate especially when I start the car up. I just replaced the cv shaft because I thought that was the issue but it got worse. I only replaced the passenger's side because that is where it sounds like it was coming from. But it still sounds like it's coming directly from underneath the car and center of the hood. Any Ideas?

Did you replaced your axle with oem one or remanufactured? I've exprerienced some vibrations from non oem axles and squealing noise from loose dust cover. Usually bad axles will click when you turn, not so much at acceleration. Put your car on the lift, put it in gear and see if you can point out the noise. You never know It could be suspension, wheel bearings or tires.

it's not uncommon for the water pump to fail on the tC. from 2005-2007 or so it was an earlier design. Toyota has since redesigned the water pump. but you said you already replaced it? It is possible it's damaged, what you should look for is the weep hole on the water pump. If the water pump is bad you'll see pink coolant (if you used toyota's coolant) all white and crusty leaking out of there.
The other noise it could be is the belt tensioner. It is in the same area, and can make a grinding, clicking noise.
hope that helps ya.
