unmuffled engine noise only in 1st gear (lemmy.world)

Hey yall, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

When I accelerate from a stop, I hear what sounds like unmuffled engine noise that sounds like it's coming from near the front of the car. It's not a complete roar like the muffler fell off but it's way louder than I'm used to. After I hit 2nd gear (automatic) the noise essentially stops and it sounds normal again. The sound can't be reproduced in neutral. I inspected what I could and the exhaust line is rusty but doesn't appear to be broken. I also don't see any issues with mileage.

Anyone have any ideas?

And if this isn't the right place, can someone direct me to the right place?
