Why is my Kia Picanto's engine making a whirring noise?

I've noticed that my 2020 Kia Picanto's engine has been making a high-pitched whirring noise when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the front of the car. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Michael, it's possible that the whirring noise is coming from a faulty belt in your engine. I would recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to have it checked and potentially replaced.

Michael, another possibility could be that there is a problem with the bearings in your car's alternator. This may require a replacement as well. I suggest having a professional take a look at it.

Hi there, Michael. It's also crucial to check the condition of your Kia Picanto's air filter. If it's clogged or dirty, it could be causing the whirring noise. Consider replacing it or having it cleaned.
