The origin of the noise on accelerating versus braking could be different (brakes can be the source of noise apart from, say, the engine). With regard to engine noise, does the noise occur when the car is parked as you increase engine speed to roughly 2,500 RPM? If yes, then you’ll next want to determine if the noise is in the accessory belt driven components or the engine or perhaps torque converter. If the noise does not occur when the vehicle is parked, it may be related to wheel bearings and possibly the transmission. The way to resolve this is to request a vehicle noise diagnostic. If you request that service, the responding certified mechanic from YourMechanic will definitely find the origin of the noise.
