Based on your description is sounds like a slipping fan belt. This could be caused by a loose or worn belt, or an accessory driven by the belt going bad and putting an excess load on the belt.
The slipping belt will develope heat. You could start the car when it is cold. Create the condition that causes the noise, like running the engine at an elevated speed for a minute or two. Shut off the engine and feel the pulleys to see which one is hotter than the rest. This could also be done using a infrared thermometer.

Could be lots of things but it could be a bad motor mount.

Have someone observe the engine when you first start the car and accelerate (with foot on brake and them off to the side) while in drive to see if motor is moving off of the motor mount causing unnecessary noises.

Could also be a worn pulley or bad water pump. If this is happening at idle you can listen to try to determine where the noise is coming from.

SOURCE: 2006 Chrysler T&C van power steering fluid is full but sounds low

Make sure u check the level with the car running. If the fluid level is still good and still have a steering wine. you have a fluid restriction. This would involve replacing the power steering resivior. The filter screen gets clogged and causes a restriction hope this helps.

SOURCE: how do i change an oil filter for a chrysler voyager 2000

remove the serpentine belt, then start the engine and listen for the noise. if the noise is gone. then you have a accessory going bad. ( i.e. ac compressor, water pump, belt tensioner, idler pulley...etc..)

SOURCE: 2004 Chrysler Crossfire 25,000 mls auto, road hum noise

MOST of the hums after a while come from the diff as the back axle does the driving and almost all its life runs the same way except when going in reverse ,is the rear diff meshing and worn on both the crownwheel and the pinion and the humming gets slightly louder the faster you go and almost goes when almost stopped and this can also be the slight vibration you get so get the diff oil drained and refilled and check if there is any metal in the oil when drained if so thats your problem But it will last for years like that..Let me know how you get on RON

00Linc ls noise from front end sounds like tire road noise steering wheel shakes a little

Wheel bearing? If you turn left and it gets louder. It is the right wheel bearing. And vice versa.

Saturn making a whining noise that gets louder when you press on the accelerator

Sounds like a bearing is on its way out in the drive belt system, could be the alternator, idlers, a/c if fitted, water pump.

Disconnect drive belt and spin all pulleys, and you will feel if one is loose, tight or making a noise it shouldn't.

I hear a loud grinding noise when i drive my car

Check front tyres & wheel bearings espesially the R/H/F. Feel tyre for high / low spots on inside & jack up & spin wheel if you get noise while jacked up it is not the tyres but wheel bearing or brake pads but more than likly a crook bearing by the sound of it. It needs to be tended to ASAP

It sounds like a bad tire, possibly a broken belt. Check the sidewalls and tread of all the tires for bulges. If good it probably is a bad wheel bearing. Try to isolate from where and what side. If the noise gets louder turning one direction but not the other, then more likely a bearing. If it stays constant both directions but gets louder with speed, then suspect a tire.

It starts In 3rd and when in 5th while still accelerating, a noise which sounds like it's coming from drivers front side, the best I can describe it is it sound like a commercial paint shaker shaking a...

Noises from axles can be really deceiving. The sound is transfered throuh the transaxle and can resonate through the entire vehicle. The turning to the left thing makes it sound like a problem in the right wheel/axle area. Wheel bearings and axles tend to make worse noise when they are on the OUTSIDE of the turn. More of the vehicle weight is shifted to the outside due to centrifugal force. Thus, if the noise is louder when turning left, this puts the right axle to the outside of the turn and the most likely to be the source of the noise. (and vise-versa) The fact that the noise calms down while cruising makes me believe that it is not a wheel bearing. Wheel bearings can make more noise in turns, however, they usually make a "roaring" or loud "humming" noise that gets louder with speed. An axle is more likely to change or get louder according to engine load more than rotational speed. (Way worse while accelerating or climbing a hill) I would be taking a hard look at the right axle.

The car makes a howling noise while driving it

well did the noise start after the tires were rotated?could be choppy tires,,,if not ,i strongly think it sounds like a bad wheel bearing,,,,if you drive and while its making the noise turn left and right quick and see if the noise gets louder and which way turning makes it louder,,if you turn leftand it gets louder its usually the right wheels bearing as you are putting load on it, if it makes the noise louder while turning right its the left wheel bearing,,,got it
