Why is the Kia Soul's engine making a rattling noise?

I recently noticed a rattling noise coming from my Kia Soul's engine. It seems to get worse when the car is idling. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

There are a few potential causes for a rattling noise in your Kia Soul's engine, including a loose heat shield or a failing timing chain tensioner. It's important to have a mechanic diagnose the issue in order to properly fix it.

I experienced a similar issue with my Kia Soul's engine and it turned out to be a loose exhaust pipe. Luckily, it was a quick and inexpensive fix. I suggest getting your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any potential engine damage.

One possibility could be that a piece of debris has become lodged in your engine, causing the rattling noise. I recommend having a mechanic inspect and clean out your engine to resolve this issue.
