Why does my Kia Rio engine sound loud?

I have noticed that when I start my Kia Rio, the engine sounds louder than usual. It doesn't seem to affect the performance, but I am concerned about the loud noise. Is this a common issue and should I be worried?

It is possible that the loud noise is due to a faulty exhaust system. I would recommend taking your Kia Rio to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection.

Another possible cause could be a loose or damaged belt in the engine. I suggest getting it checked out to prevent any further damage.

Have you recently changed your oil? Using the wrong type or not enough oil can also cause loud engine noise. It's important to always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil changes.
