Hard acceleration and noise!!

I can hear some kind of ticking noise sometimes when accelerating on an uphill /curved road or sometimes while taking off fast.

Type of noise is very hard to expalin , but I guess that is coming from something below the engine or Autotransmission.

Maybe I give it too much gas when car can not go faster??

Are there any noises which you are supposed to hear when accelerationg hard?

thank you for sharing your insights.

Usually...NOISE = BAD

If your going uphill and the hill is fairly steep it would be recomendable to shift to 2nd (the 2 under the D) because you could be stressing out the 1st gear and causing damage to it. 2nd is a stronger gear and can handle the task of climbing

same goes for descending a steep hill, you wanna put it in L so the car doesn't roll down too fast

It's weird cuz Im having the same exact thing happening. But I only hear it in the morning after I warm up my car. When I take a left onto this not so big hill I hear like a rattle or something. And it's only in the mornings. Iv checked my Oil, everything looked good and theres no change in my gear shifting(Have an automatic), so I Know what your talking about. Hopefully someone has had and fixed this problem b4 cuz I would LOVE to know what the hell it is too..
