In order to tell you that you would have to describe the noise and what the car is doing when the noise is made. Are you idling, driving, just turned the AC on? What is occurring and what is the noise? Idling and sounds worse when AC is on. Sounds like it is coming from the top of the engine. Vehicle has 120k miles
Check your sway bar links. I just had to have these replaced on my 2004 Tracker.

you probably threw a rod out, get it to a mechanic ASAP or you will have more problems.
Engine noise.
Bearing noise is usually deeper and comes from farther down in the engine. Lifter noise is more of a ticking and is up in the engine heads.

Engine running hotter then 220 degrees can cause valvetrain noise. Bad fuel can also cause valve noise / PINGING sound. Ignition timing to high / Advanced to far, can also cause engine noise.

Servicing required.....
If you are speaking of exhaust noise, repair your exhaust leaks. If you are speaking of engine noise, and it is loud enough that it bothers you, or sounds unnatural, the engine may be damaged internally. An inspection by a mechanic will tell you if your engine is making more noise than it should. regular maintenance such as a tune up and oil change will make your engine run smoother and will reduce noise.
