Why is my Kia Ceed's engine making a high pitched whining noise?

I just bought a Kia Ceed and noticed that the engine is making a high pitched whining noise whenever I accelerate. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

It is not normal for an engine to make a high pitched whining noise. You should have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

This could be a sign of a loose belt in your engine. I suggest taking your Kia Ceed to a mechanic to get it checked out.

It's possible that you may have a faulty pulley in your engine. I recommend taking it to a certified Kia mechanic to have it inspected.
