When I drive I’m experiencing a loud motorcycle kind of sound. It starts as soon as I reach about 20 mph and gets louder as I accelerate. When my car is in park and I touch my gas pedal my car doesn’t make the sound seems to only happen when my cars in motion, but it sounds sort of similar to a leak in a exhaust.

Good morning,

This could be a wheel bearing in the front or rear of the car.

Is there any chance you could take a video of it and post it here for me to hear?
