My car makes rhythmic noise when in idle and then turns off. Car is automatic
What is your question?
I was driving on grass when I went over a hole and was too big and my car went over to harshly. When I went over the hole I immediately put my car in park, harshly enough that the car stopped moving because of me putting it in park and not from me braking. Then I went outside to check for damage, I didn't see any damage. Then, I had my car idle when I started to hear a rhythmic noise coming from the center of the car. The noise can only be heard from the inside of the car. Then after a while of me hearing the noise, it became louder more high-pitched and the car even began to vibrate a little. Then the car turned off and the battery icon lit up on the dashboard. After I received the engine from low rpm to high rpm and drove the car around to no avail. The car still felt the same driving from before the incident and the revving did nothing.
What makes this problem better or worse?
It will only happen when not moving

Hello, it sounds like something in the exhaust may be grounding off of the body of the vehicle, possibly from impacting the hole as you stated. If the exhaust is grounded off of the body of the vehicle, then it will make a noise as it's vibrating along with the engine without being dampened properly. A good physical inspection of the undercarriage will find any out of place components.
I cannot be sure why the vehicle stalled. The battery icon will light up with the engine stalling, so that seems normal. Is the car staring and running OK now?
