    Have you ever pressed the gas pedal and heard a strange sound rattling, whining, knocking, or grinding and wondered if it was serious or something you could ignore? In this episode of Under the Hood: Real Talk from Torrance Motors, we dive deep into one of the most common concerns drivers have: unusual noises during acceleration.

    We break down the most frequent causes of noisy acceleration, from worn engine mounts and exhaust leaks to transmission issues and failing wheel bearings. You’ll learn how different sounds point to different systems in your car, what symptoms tend to show up together, and which warning signs mean it’s time to stop driving and get the car checked immediately.
