Why does my Kia Ceed's engine make strange noises?

I've noticed that my Kia Ceed's engine has recently been making some strange noises. It almost sounds like a rattling or knocking sound. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It's possible that there could be an issue with your timing belt or tensioner. I would recommend taking it to a certified mechanic to get it checked out as soon as possible.

Another potential issue could be that your engine oil is low or dirty. Make sure to regularly check your oil levels and change it according to your car's maintenance schedule.

If the noises seem to be coming from the exhaust, it could be a problem with the exhaust manifold or muffler. It's best to have a professional inspect it for any damage.
