It is common for cars to make grinding noises when going over bumps, but if the noise is excessive or accompanied by other symptoms, it is best to have a mechanic take a look. It could be a sign of worn out suspension components or loose parts.

I have a Kia Niro as well and I've experienced the same issue. I took it to the dealership and they said it was due to loose bolts in the front suspension. They tightened them and the noise went away.

I used to work at a Kia dealership and we often saw this issue with the Niro. It's most likely due to the strut mounts getting worn out. I recommend getting it checked and replaced if needed.

I had this problem with my Niro and it turned out to be a loose heat shield. It's an easy fix if that's the case, but definitely get it checked to be safe.
