Loud Noise Underneath

Hi Mates

I am getting a hard nocking sound underneath the car when i pull off hard. It feels like there is a metal hitting the base of the car. I checked the CV joints and they are a bit worn out, i am changing them next week. But now what suprises me is that when the traction is off, it doesnt make that sound when i pull off hard.

Any Ideas please!!!
