Engine sounds weird? Help!
Hello, I'm new to the forums and I own a 2007 Lexus is250 (should've bought a 350 instead) anyways, I drive my car daily and when I drive it I hear my engine. It sounds like a airplane taking off when I accelerate and when I slow down , it sounds like an airplane landing? I don't think it's normal.. And I just like some opinions on what it could be? Should I take it to the Lexus dealership and get it checked up?
thank you!!!
thank you!!!

One of your wheel bearings has possibly gone bad. Easy way to tell if they're bad is to lift the car and shake the wheel, if it has any play at all, the bearing needs to be replaced. Turning may also feel a bit rough/sound rough. Not really safe at all to drive on.

thank you! Will give that a try! So basically lift the car up and see if the wheel is easily shaken? Sorry! I'm a noob, not too sure what you mean by "if it has any play at all" ... Also yeah you might be right cuz when I put the car in park and I rev the engine up I don't hear the airplane noise!!
