Default Help! d16z6 Engine noises...

Well long story short..... my brother kidnappned my car the other day cause his was in the shop.(which im completely pissed about cause he didnt ask) well when he got home.... im now having odd engine noises that weren't there before.

What is happening:

When i accelerate i get a loud deep rumble sound that kinda does hundreds of tiny putt sounds. sounds like a really big dog growling. It still accelerates but it also seems that the RPM is going a bit higher then what it seemed it did and that rumble/growl sound seems to get louder the higher the speeds but it still runs strong and accelerates... its just that noise is annoying as hell

Anyone know what im talking about or is able to help me? I want to get this fixed.....

Okay, When my engine is idle or in neutral, it revs up fine no loud noises other then the difference in tone at different rpm.

But when im driving and accelerating, the engine during acceleration makes a rumbling noise. almost like the sound of an really old car thats overly loud. but its only doing it during acceleration.

if its only when accelerating then it could be transmission related. It also could be a small rod knock or some other internal issues.
