Could the Kia Sorento's engine noise be related to a failing timing belt?

I've noticed a strange noise coming from my Kia Sorento's engine and I'm wondering if it could be related to a failing timing belt. I've checked the oil level and it seems fine. What should I do?

It is possible that the noise is related to a failing timing belt. I recommend taking your vehicle to a trusted mechanic to have it inspected.

Another possibility could be a loose or worn serpentine belt, which can also cause engine noise. Again, I would recommend having a mechanic take a look to determine the issue.

If the timing belt is indeed failing, it is important to get it replaced as soon as possible. A broken timing belt can cause serious damage to your engine.
