Why does my Kia Soul make a loud noise when I turn on the AC?

I recently purchased a Kia Soul and I have noticed that whenever I turn on the AC, there is a loud noise coming from the engine. It is quite concerning and I'm not sure if it's a normal sound for this car. Can someone shed some light on this issue?

The loud noise you are experiencing when turning on the AC in your Kia Soul can be caused by a few different factors. It could be due to a worn out belt or a loose component in the AC system. I would advise you to take your car to a certified mechanic to have it checked out.

I have had the same issue with my Kia Soul and after getting it checked out, it turned out to be a faulty AC compressor. It's not a common issue, but it is definitely something that can happen. I suggest taking your car to a Kia dealership for further assistance.

I actually had the same problem with my Kia Soul and I found that it was due to a loose cable in the engine. It was an easy fix and the noise went away immediately. I recommend checking all the cables and connections first before taking your car in for repairs.
