My car makes a loud noise when idling

When my car is parked or at a stand still my car’s engine is really loud and is far from quiet. But when I push the gas the noise goes away.

Good afternoon,

Can you upload a video of the noise for me to hear?

It sounds like it could be either and engine noise or an exhaust leak.

It's even louder in person than in the video. Is it just because my car is old, is there a problem? Thank you!

Is the oil light on?

This sounds like the engine itself from the lack of oil pressure.

The oil light is not on, would you want me to record it when the hood open?
