Why is my Kia Sorento producing a loud rattling noise?

I recently purchased a Kia Sorento and noticed that it produces a loud rattling noise while driving. It seems to be coming from the engine compartment. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

The rattling noise could be caused by a number of issues, such as loose components or a faulty exhaust system. It's best to have a mechanic inspect your vehicle to determine the exact cause of the noise and address it promptly to avoid any potential damage.

Have you recently changed your oil? It could be a sign that you need to get an oil change. If the rattling noise persists, it's best to have a professional diagnose the issue to prevent any further damage.

The rattling noise could also be a result of a worn out belt or pulley. It's best to have a mechanic take a look and replace any worn out parts to avoid any further issues with your Kia Sorento.
