Why is my Kia Sportage engine making a rattling noise?

I noticed that my Kia Sportage's engine is making a rattling noise. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

The rattling noise could be due to a loose heat shield on the exhaust system. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic to have it checked and tightened if necessary.

Another possible cause could be low oil levels. Check your oil levels and top up if necessary. If the noise persists, it could be a sign of a bigger issue, so I recommend getting it looked at by a professional.

The engine may also be low on engine coolant, causing it to run hotter and make a rattling noise. Check your coolant levels and top up if needed.
