    Need more info than that.
    Is it actually revving or just sounds like it?
    At what stage and what conditions after starting does it do this?
    Progressively worse or there suddenly at some point?

    look for and fix the air hissing noise you will hear when your listening to the engine.

    Be aware of hot and rotating parts when listening up close.

    OP, if you tell us where you are located we can suggest a mechanic.
    Or if you are DIY-minded you can start by cleaning the throttle body.
