Why is my Kia Sportage making a strange noise while driving?

I recently purchased a 2021 Kia Sportage and have noticed a strange noise while driving. It sounds like a high-pitched whirring noise coming from the engine. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

It is possible that this noise could be caused by a faulty drive belt. It is important to get this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any potential damage to your engine.

Another common cause of strange noises in a Kia Sportage is a clogged air filter. Try replacing the air filter and see if the noise persists. If it does, then it could be a more serious issue.

I had a similar noise in my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a loose exhaust pipe. Make sure to have your exhaust system checked for any loose or damaged components.
