What is causing the loud roaring noise when I give it gas, especially going uphill, and accelerating after a turn?

I was told it was Cat. Converter but had that removed, and still makes the loud roary vibrating sound from the back area. IIt does not do it all the time, and seems to do it worse the longer I drive it.

SOURCE: transfer case making roaring rattling sound

it's possible you might need to just change the trans case fluid.... it's a pretty simple task, i usually do all the small minor work first before i take it to a dealer to fix.... if they said you need a new trans case, but didn't tell you why, more than likely there might be something you could do yourself to make it better... those service men have been working around vehicles long enough, they should be able to tell you exactly what's wrong!
i would also do a tranny fluid change to... some of the noise could be coming from there too -- when you change either fluid, add a little lucas transmission fluid stabilizer, it helps alot with seals and makes the fluid stick to the gears better...

SOURCE: Loud Roaring Noise

This sounds like a noisy wheel bearing, they really can get loud, but quite when u turn because the weight comes off the wheel..

SOURCE: Makes a low roaring noise when you are at crusing speed.

One of the front wheel bearings are bad. Jack it up and see if one is loose, the noise will usually change if you swerve back and forth while driving. Could also be a rear pinion bearing in the rear axle.

You must replace wheel bearings in pairs to avoid loading the old bearing and, in time ruining your new bearing hub it is possible that you have already damaged the new hub

Roaring noise while driving my 95 tacoma

  1. Loose or worn wheel bearings: This can cause a loud, rumbling sound that increases with speed.
  2. Engine problems: A roaring sound could be caused by a problem with the engine, such as a failing alternator or a damaged serpentine belt.
  3. Exhaust problems: A roaring noise could indicate a problem with the muffler, exhaust pipe, or catalytic converter.
  4. Drivetrain problems: Issues with the drive shaft or CV joints can also cause a roaring noise while driving.
It's best to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose the issue and recommend the proper repairs. Driving with a loud noise could indicate a more serious problem and could cause further damage if not addressed promptly.

2008 Hyundai Accent P0420 code Low power, diminishing as it gets warmer to almost nothing.

Given the P0420 code it's possible it's a cat converter. But then the question is what caused the cat converter to go bad? They don't go bad on their own. You've most likely got multiple problems going on here. Get it diagnosed by a pro.

No power accelerating uphill but ok on level and downhill cruising.

Probably the catalytic converter. When the cat starts to go bad that`s what normally happens, do you notice an odd smell from the exhaust?

What is causing the loud howling from my 2002 Suburban?

Hello I don't know exactly where you live however, I'd say the loud " roaring noise is possibly the clutch fan. The reason why they are so loud and make the roaring sound is because as you accelerate the fan blades spread outward but are under resistance .It's activated by ambient engine temp. They are very noisy when engaged and tend to work more on rural roads, stop and go and when A/C is being used. etc. The brake light is on because the fluid is below the fluid level sensor basically telling you to check and or add brake fluid. In addition the ABS light has came on because it had ran low on brake fluid sending a warning signal to the computer from the ABS brake control module. The best thing to do is to keep up on the fluid level find that leak and repair it.
