It could be a lot of things, no sense in guessing.
I'd start with an OBD scan for stored or pending codes.
If you don't have a tool or app you can go to AutoZone or some other place like that and get a free scan.
You'll have to do some troubleshooting, this thread is a good guide;

If there is a static noise, could be the spark plug wires wearing down and you are receiving EMF interference. Pull them and check if there are cracks.

If you need to really go fast at higher speeds, you need to downshift and rev-match. This car isn't a V8 or turbo I4 where you can be lazy and just floor it in higher gears. You need the revs to have power.
