Why is my Kia Stonic making a ticking noise?

I recently noticed a ticking noise coming from my Kia Stonic while driving. It seems to get louder when I accelerate. I'm worried it could be something serious. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

It's possible that the ticking noise is coming from the engine. It could indicate a potential engine issue that should be checked by a mechanic.

Check your exhaust system for any loose parts or debris that could be causing the ticking noise. If the issue persists, have a mechanic inspect it further.

It could also be something as simple as a loose belt or loose bolts. Have a mechanic look at these components and tighten or replace them if necessary.
