Hello, I was wondering if you could possibly tell me what you think is wrong with my car, it makes sound when I press the gas pedal (speed), not when in park, only when moving. I have a video of it, I'm not sure if I downloaded it correct..

You need a live person to look at this. The need to be moving can cover two things. One is an exhaust leak. Often the engine needs to be under load for that to occur, so it won't happen just by raising engine speed when standing still. The other cause is something related to moving parts or something dragging under the car, like a stuck tree branch.

You can help in the diagnosis by including all the details possible. What speeds, is it affected by turning, does it sound like a screech, a buzz, a rattle, squeak, etc.
