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

I recently purchased a Kia Soul and noticed that there is a ticking noise coming from the engine. It's not very loud, but it's noticeable. Is this something I should be concerned about?

The ticking noise you are hearing could be caused by a few different issues. It could be a sign of low oil levels or a problem with the engine's valves or lifters. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out.

I have a Kia Soul as well and have experienced the same issue. It could be a normal sound for the Soul's engine, but just to be safe, I would recommend having it checked out by a mechanic. Better to be safe than sorry.

I had this problem with my Kia Soul and it turned out to be an issue with the timing chain. I would suggest taking it to the dealership as it may be covered under your warranty.
