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

I've noticed that my Kia Soul's engine has been making a strange noise recently. It doesn't seem to affect the performance, but I'm curious about what could be causing it. Does anyone have any ideas?

It's possible that the noise is coming from the timing belt. I suggest getting it checked out by a mechanic.

I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a loose exhaust pipe. Make sure to check that as well.

Have you changed the engine oil recently? Dirty or old oil can sometimes cause strange noises. Make sure to follow the recommended oil change schedule for your Kia Soul.
