Given the multiple systems it is almost certain you're hearing an exhaust leak. That will sound like a ticking noise. In between the puffs of exhaust gas flow the momentum can create puffs of vacuum that draw in outside air. The front oxygen sensors detect the unburned oxygen in that air and report it as a lean condition. The Engine Computer responds by commanding more fuel. Since you don't have extra air coming into the engine, that additional fuel doesn't burn. It goes out the exhaust pipe, wasted. No matter how much extra fuel the computer requests, the oxygen sensors will keep on seeing that unburned oxygen that is sneaking in and the computer will keep on adding more and more fuel.
