I started noticing it a week ago. When I accelerate, it makes a rumbling sound from what it seems like the engine bay. I can hear it with windows up and down. It sounds like air pushing through something in short bursts and it's louder when I give it more gas. I can't notice any performance difference and I really hope it's just a normal sound. Could that be an exhaust leak or is it something normal...It's loudest when in low rpm's and giving it gas and then it just accelerates into shorter/quicker bursts as the car gains speed...I was listening around the engine bay with the hood up and I couldn't tell any difference...my car has 27000 miles so I don't know if it's just the engine breaking in and making a deeper sound? I feel like a noob right now so I need some advice

Sounds are very hard to diagnose over the internet... It does not sound like anything bad to me, but it is hard to know for sure.

See I'm hoping I'm just being paranoid...it sounds like short bursts of air. It actually sounds kind of good when I drive next to walls almost like a meaner sound but I hope it's not something bad. Maybe someone will have had a similar problem or has that similar sound It definely didn't do it before

Man its a mustang. There not built the best, I have noticed they just make a lot of noise. From what your saying it doesn't seem serious.

I see you have a intake,TB, and Plenum. Check those things out and your vacuum lines.
