Why does my car make a roaring grinding noise when I accelerate?

Whenever I accelerate my car starts making a kind of roaring or grinding type noise?

The sounds gets worse the faster I go.

The roaring sound is most likely your wheel bearing on your vehicle going out.

Could also be your CV joint causing the noise but I would say it's most certainly the wheel bearing that is culprit.

I would get the car to a mechanic to have the wheel bearing checked out before something worse happens.

If your wheel bearing seizes you could lose the wheel and even roll your car and die. Get it checked out ASAP.
