My car has been sounding real loud I'm not sure if it's some kind of vacuum or what. When I start it, it sounds hard, and when I accelerate it sounds very loud. All I know is it's coming from the front end and I'd like to fix it but don't know where to start

 

Welcome to the forum. If I were you, I'd be hesitant to lift the hood with the engine running for fear something might snap and fly off to injure you. Consider a visit to a service department or repair shop.
