Q: I have a 2010 Sebring and about 3 weeks ago it started to make a noise when I accelerate the noise is not a knocking or a ticking

Try accelerating the engine in park. If the noise occurs then, when the car is not moving, generally the noise you are describing originates in the engine, the transmission (torque converter runs even at idle), and/or the accessory drives although the exhaust system is a possibility, too. If the sound occurs when the car is stationary, if the sound is not really obvious (pinpointed) on the mechanic’s initial inspection, a quick diagnostic can be performed by simply taking all of the belt driven accessories out of the picture by disconnecting the drive belts and then very briefly running the engine. If the sound disappears, the faulty component is then isolated amongst the accessories and pulleys. If the sounds does not disappear, that means the noise originates within the engine and/or transmission. If the sound occurs only once the car is moving, remote wireless microphones can be used to identify the general "area" (or component) that the noise originates from.
