Question Roaring At Acceleration From Rx330

when I add gas for acceleration especially at low speed(5-10mph), the engine seems to roaring. In my impression, Lexus should be very quiet. Is that a special design for lexus SUV? I don't know whether cleaning fuel system will help or not. Please give me some idea to make it quieter. Thanks!

There should not be a roaring noise. If it is under warranty, take it in for service.

Shooting from the hip ...
Flex joint in the exhaust can spring a leak.

My car is already 68K only under powertrain warranty.
