What is the cause of the rattling noise coming from my Kia Sportage's engine?

I have noticed a loud rattling noise coming from the engine of my Kia Sportage. The noise seems to get louder when I accelerate. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

The rattling noise may be caused by a loose heat shield or a faulty engine mount. I recommend taking your Kia Sportage to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.

Another possible cause could be a worn out timing belt or a problem with the spark plugs. These issues can be easily fixed by a qualified mechanic.

It's also important to check the oil levels in your engine as low oil can also cause rattling noises. Make sure to regularly change your oil and use the recommended oil for your Kia Sportage.
