Why does my Kia Picanto's engine make a strange noise?

I've noticed that my Kia Picanto's engine is making a strange noise while driving. It seems to be coming from the front of the car and gets louder when I accelerate. What could be causing this?

It's possible that your serpentine belt is worn or loose. This can cause a squeaking or whining noise. I recommend having a mechanic check it out to see if it needs to be replaced.

Another possibility is that the noise is coming from the wheel bearings. They may need to be repacked or replaced. It's best to have a professional diagnose and fix this issue.

If the noise is a knocking or ticking sound, it could be an issue with the engine's valves. This should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.
