Why is my Kia Stonic's engine making a weird noise?

I've noticed that my Kia Stonic's engine has been making a strange noise lately. It sounds like a rattling or ticking noise, especially when I first start the car. It's never done this before and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to fix it?

It's possible that there could be something loose in the engine, such as a belt or pulley. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic to have them take a look and diagnose the issue. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your car's engine.

Check the oil and make sure it's at the correct level. Low oil can cause strange noises in the engine. If the oil level is fine, it's possible that there could be an issue with the oil pump or other internal engine components. Have a professional mechanic inspect the car to determine the cause.

It could be a problem with your exhaust system, such as a loose heat shield or bad muffler. This could cause a rattling noise and may get worse when the engine is cold. Have a mechanic take a look at the exhaust system and repair any issues that are found.
