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

I recently noticed that my Kia Sportage's engine has been making a strange noise. It's not a constant sound, but it comes and goes. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

It's possible that the noise is coming from a loose or damaged belt. You should get your vehicle inspected by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a problem with the alternator. Definitely get your car checked out by a professional to determine the source of the noise.

It could also be an issue with the exhaust system. Try taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostics test to pinpoint the source of the noise.
