Why does my Kia Stonic make a strange noise when I turn on the air conditioning?

I recently bought a brand new Kia Stonic and noticed that whenever I turn on the air conditioning, there is a strange noise coming from under the hood. The noise doesn't seem to affect the performance of the car, but it's still concerning. Can anyone help me figure out what might be causing this noise? Is it something I should be worried about?

It's common for new cars to make strange noises, especially when turning on the air conditioning for the first time. This could be due to air bubbles in the system or a loose belt. It's always best to have it checked out by a mechanic just to be safe. It may be nothing to worry about, but it's better to be cautious.

I've had a similar issue with my Kia Stonic and after taking it to the dealership, they discovered that there was a problem with the AC compressor. It needed to be replaced. You should definitely get it checked out as soon as possible, just in case.

I used to have this problem with my old car whenever the air conditioning was turned on. It turned out to be a loose fan belt. I tightened it and the noise went away. It's a simple fix, but it's always best to have a professional check it out just to be sure.
