What to do if my Kia Sorento's engine starts making a strange noise under acceleration?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sorento's engine is making a strange noise when I accelerate. It sounds like a high-pitched whine and I'm concerned it could be a serious issue. Can anyone provide advice on what could be causing this and how to address it?

It's possible that the noise could be caused by a worn out belt or low engine oil. If the noise persists, it's best to take your Sorento to a trusted mechanic for further inspection.

I had a similar issue with my Sorento and it turned out to be a faulty alternator. I would recommend getting it checked out and potentially replaced to prevent any potential issues down the road.

Before jumping to any conclusions, make sure to rule out any loose or damaged parts under the hood. Check for any loose connections or damaged belts and tighten or replace as needed.
