Your car could have a plugged up exhaust. But also your buick is past it's service lifetime almost 5 years.

Go to an muffler shop and have them look at your cataylic converter. It sounds as if it may be stopped up and not allowing enough exhaust through the tail pipe or either you may need a new muffler.

Not enough info. But I would check for a clogged cadalitic converter or a bad O2 sensor

Sounds like you have a misfire--a plug or lead faulty and as a result the unburnt fuel is being detonated by the heat of the exhaust

clogged cadalitic converter or a bad O2 sensor, may need to check the motor mounts as well.

You need to have the computer scanned I could
list lots of suggestions but with a starting place I would be guessing think about that, hope this helps.

on this model i would suspect bad plug wires.. the banging you hear in the converter is unburned fuel lighting off

Leaking gas line or stuck injector.
