Loud Exhaust Noise Under Driver Side Whenever I Accelerate on gas.

There is a Loud exhaust noise coming from under the drivers side of the car whenever I accelerate from stop. It almost sounds like my exhaust has a leak in it or it popped off or something. It started off as a quiet hum and progressively got louder. The sound goes away though at about 35-40 mph.. What could this be?

    It sounds like the exhaust manifold, exhaust manifold gasket or exhaust pipe. Take the heat shield off and check the exhaust manifold/gasket for holes or missing gasket. It might sound like it goes away at higher speed because you are not continuing to accelerate.

Can be a split in the exhaust or the flex pipe has snapped in side. either way its going to need to be fixed, welded up or replaced and weld on.

SOURCE: I have a 2000 Honda Accord and as I accelerate over 45 mph the care starts making a progressively louder humming/buzzing sound. When I turn slightly to the right the noise will go away. Any ideas wh

sounds like the wheels are out of balance, is there a slight vibration through the steering wheel at this speed? and does the problem stop if you go faster (please drive carefully)

There is a rattling noise when the car is idling. when I accelerate it quits.

there are two things that cause this, one is the front engine pulley comes apart, this is very loud and comes from passenger side of engine, the next is the catalytic converter heat shield is broken.

Not a lot of info here but you probably need to check the rubber supports for the exhaust system at the front end. This would be the most obvious thing.

Most likely its the exhaust pipes or muffler making the sound. It should just be the metal expanding from the heat.

If you crawl under the car you should be able to hear the part better.
