Default LOUD Burbling Noise Accelerating in Focus!

When I accelerate, my 2005 plated Focus makes a loud noise like an overengineered V8...

A little in 1st

A lot in 2nd and 3rd

much less in 4th

barely noticeable in 5th gear.

I have thought/searched for answers, and I get sane to comical answers, like

Hole in exhaust
Dirty mounts
It could be your bearings
You could have misshapen tyres
Your CV boot needs replacement (I thought they clicked?) and if you don't your wheels will fall of (!?)
Just get a tune up/oil change
To the insane "it is your power steering fluid"

Any help would be appreciated.

PS

Over 265,000 km on the clock. So it is old and flogged.

If it is just a cosmetic problem I don't care. If it is a safety issue I do care.
