A Burning smell when I spped up fast

Hi. I have Honda civic 2007. Mileage is 250 thousand kilometer. Recently one thing I have noticed, when I speed up a bit fast, or drive 120/ KM per hour, there is a burning smell. What it might be?

Thank you.

Manual or automatic? Clutch/transmission could be at early stages of failure.

could be anything.
Open the hood. Lift the car.

Inspect.

You could have a goose stuck under you car next to the exhaust for all we know

I cleared the car air filter. I feel like situation improved just a little bit. Still not sure whats the cause.

opened hood. Few days ago mechanic lifted the car and I checked, mechanic changed oil. Said nothing about something stuck. Now I have to take to mechanic for inspection, thats something left.
