Why is my Kia Rio engine making a strange noise?

I recently started hearing a strange noise coming from my Kia Rio's engine. It sounds like a high-pitched whirring sound. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?

It is possible that the noise is coming from a worn out belt or pulley in your engine. I would recommend taking your car to a mechanic to have it checked and possibly replaced.

Another potential cause could be a faulty air conditioning compressor. This can often cause strange noises in the engine. Again, it is best to have a mechanic take a look and determine the best course of action.

If you have recently changed your oil, it could be a sign of low oil pressure. Check your oil level and add more if necessary. If the noise persists, it would be best to have a mechanic inspect your vehicle.
