I drive a 99 Mazada Millennia S. Every since I bottomed out going over a railroad crossing, my car has been making the aforementioned sound while accelerating until the automatic transmission changes gears, until I try to speed up again which is when it will return. I haven't noticed that the preformance is any different than before but I only started driving it a few days before hand. I tried to add more oil and it didn't seem to help. The engine is supercharged if that means anything. I'm sorry if I'm being vauge but I am a novice when it comes to cars.

On other thing that might be of note: This only occurs when my car is in drive. When it is in neutral or in park, when I rev the engine the sound does not occur. Also for those who have a gues to what might be wrong, how much might I be looking at for the repairs. Thanks to all on those who help.

If you "bottomed out" the car, you may have smashed up an exhaust pipe, poked a hole in the exhaust system somewhere, busted a stud on the exhaust manifold, or bent your exhaust pipes enough to leak at a joint like the muffler or catalytic converter. All of these things would cause the "ticking" noise you describe on acceleration, when the volume of exhaust exiting the engine is at its highest level, and traveling through the system at high speed.

Sounds like you have a broken motor mount. When you start off it makes the sound because the engine is torquing to one side then stops until you speed up again. look at the fan shroud, and see if the fan has been hitting it.This is the only thing I can think of that would make the sound you describe

You may hahve a cracked fly-wheel. You will have to take it to a service shop in order to find out for sure. I would do this as soon as possible as with any vehicle damage; it only gets worse over time. most likely you have a small exaust leak though.

Take your car to a qualified mechanic ASAP. It sounds to me like you may have damaged something to the point it is rubbing something else. Get it checked by someone competent in the automotive field before your car leaves you stranded somewhere.

It sounds like a transmission problem. Have it checked right away. could be minor damage, or serious. most serious you're looking at about 600 to 800 bucks. Good luck.....

on your brake shoes are a little tab that makes that kind of sound when the shoes are almost ready to be replaced or when they get out of alignment some how. i would have your brakes checked. and while you are at the shop have them check the whole under carriage just to make sure you didn't damage something.

Sounds like you may have damaged the exhaust.

I've had that noise before when I've had an exhaust leak. Or a bad head gasket.
