Welcome to the forum.

Please ID the vehicle.

Can a video clip be posted showing the problem?

A mechanic contact stethoscope is a useful tool for this problem. It is VERY clear when the noise source is touched by the probe tip.

Does it go away after it's been driven for a bit? Mine is the catalytic converter insides have collapsed. REALLY loud until it warms up a bit.
