(AH style answer) The noise is due to the increased acceleration

(Serious answer) Get under the car (safely) and check the exhaust for corrosion. Depending on the model, the fiestas are known for rust, but not in the exhaust afaik.

Is it an engine noise or a rattle? if you're hearing increased engine noise either you have a worn out/failing silencer or it's leaking somewhere, probably at a join.

If it's a rattle some part could be either loose or bent
