Why is my Kia Picanto making a strange noise while accelerating?

I recently bought a Kia Picanto and noticed that it makes a strange noise while accelerating. It sounds like a whirring or grinding sound and I'm worried that there might be something wrong with the car. Has anyone experienced this issue before? What could be causing it and how can I fix it?

I had the same problem with my Kia Picanto. It turned out to be a faulty alternator. I took it to a mechanic and got it replaced and the noise went away.

I've heard that this could be a sign of a damaged transmission. It's best to take your car to a trusted mechanic as soon as possible to get it checked.

It's possible that the noise is coming from a loose or worn out belt. You can try tightening or replacing it yourself, but I would recommend getting it checked by a professional.
