Weird/odd sound when stepping on acclerator
A strange sound has started and I cannot figure out where or what its coming from. It doesn't matter if I go staight, left, or right. It seems to only happen when I press on the gas and reach a certain speed. I'm not sure of the exact sound but its sort of like a woop woop woop kind of sound. And there is a virbration in the floorboards when it happens.
Just changed front left caliper, changed the fuel pump relay.

Sounds like a wheel bearing, but they usually change when you steer around a curve. But occasionally the curve doesn't make any difference...
To be sure about the diagnosis, you can remove the brake pads & check for looseness or grinding in the wheel bearing.
Less likely, but maybe easier to check is a bad tire. Swap front-rear or trade tires around in some way. See if the sound moves to a new corner.
