Hi, please refer to the CV joint/driveshaft issues thread. Your CV Joint has gone bad prematurely.

When I brought it up to the dealer, they said it was fine. They sold me the car like that and my powertrain warranty is done.

I'm sorry about that. Dealerships suck. It's not a very expensive fix and you can do it yourself with around $200 USD and a loaner tools from any major car parts store.

Most of the part stores I called here didn't have it. Including napa, carquest. I did find a place that could get me both for about $230+tax with a 1 year warranty. I've heard plenty of bad things about aftermarket axles but dealer is $420 a piece. Might consider sending them to a rebuilder

Maybe the noise for the Bad CV Axle. I've had faced the same noise.
If the noise goes away when you press on the brakes, it may be from wear/looseness in the suspension or steering components. The forces of braking will be applied to joints and bushings, like ball joints and tierod ends, etc, and stop the noise.

When I changed them the noise went away
