The answer vary greatly depending on the nature of the noise. It is unusual for any car to accelerate in complete silence.

If the noise is an abnormal engine sound, it could relate to a loose valve arm (ticking) a warn distributor cap, rotor button or sparking ignition leads (clicking combined with loss of power and missing on one or more cylinders) or damage to the exhaust.

If the car is a front wheel drive, its CV joints may be worn or the boots damaged, which would result in a kind of clicking grinding noise under acceleration.

Wheel bearings can also make a grinding noise if they are warn out, though this is less dependant on acceleration and more on the forces applied by the motion of the vehicle.
