I have a hyundai coupe 2006. Recently I started flooring the accelartor(push pedal right down to floor in an instant) to make car go faster.
When I accelerate smoothly and slowly I notice the car sounds nice and smooth while it picks up speed. However when I floor the accelerator it sounds dodgy and not smooth at all. Is it OK to floor the accelerator in way described or might it lead to car damage?
"Car damage" is not very descriptive, but I'm going to try and answer the question I think you're getting at, which is "Are there negative effects from constantly flooring it?" To which the answer is: yes.
In short, you are going to "wear through" everything faster. Some examples:
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you should never try to accelerate quickly or risk your car falling apart. Cars are built to be driven. But I don't really understand this part of your post:

The question really is, why are you doing this? Are you trying to merge onto the freeway at the appropriate speed, and as such you pin your foot to the floor for 5 seconds? If so, go for it, it's safer to merge at the same speed as everyone else.
But if you are just flooring it every time the light turns green, only to slam on your brakes and get stuck in traffic 20 seconds later... I'd question what benefit you are really getting. You aren't saving time, and you are costing yourself money.
Prolonged flooring as you put it may cause some harm. But driving/accelerating hard shouldn't cause an issue. If you do this with a cold engine (just started) then you might have a problem or if your engine has high mileage on it.
What do you mean by "dodgy"?
It will sound a little more noisy. Not smooth may be a misfire.
Is it an inline 4 cylinder or a V6?
