Why is my Kia Sportage making a strange noise when I accelerate?

I've noticed a strange humming sound coming from the engine when I push down on the gas pedal. It seems to only happen when I accelerate, and the noise gets louder as I go faster. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It's possible that your Kia Sportage's exhaust system may be loose or damaged. This can cause vibrations and loud noises when the car is accelerating. I would suggest bringing your car to a mechanic to have it inspected and repaired if necessary.

A

Another potential cause could be a problem with your car's transmission. If the noise is accompanied by difficulty shifting gears or jerking while accelerating, it could be a sign of a transmission issue. It's important to address this as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

C

Have you recently had your tires rotated or replaced? It's possible that the noise could be coming from a misaligned or unbalanced tire. I would recommend having your tires checked and realigned to see if that resolves the issue.
