Why is my Kia Ceed's engine making a knocking sound?

I recently purchased a Kia Ceed and have noticed that the engine has started making a knocking sound. It's quite annoying and I'm not sure if it's a serious issue or not. Can anyone provide some insight on what might be causing this and what steps I should take to fix it?

It's possible that the knocking sound is due to low oil levels. Check your oil and make sure it's at the appropriate level. If not, top it up and see if the sound goes away.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Ceed and it turned out to be a faulty spark plug. Get your spark plugs checked and replaced if necessary.

It's also important to regularly get your engine oil changed and maintain proper tire pressure. These can also contribute to engine noise.
