Why is the Kia Stonic's engine making a strange noise?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and I've noticed that the engine makes a strange noise whenever I start the car. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? What can be causing this noise?

It is possible that the strange noise is caused by a loose belt in your engine. Consider taking the car to a mechanic to have it checked.

The noise could also be caused by low oil level or dirty oil. Check your oil level and if it's low, top it up and see if the noise goes away. If not, consider getting an oil change.

Another common cause of strange noises in a car's engine is a faulty or worn out bearing. This should be addressed by a mechanic as soon as possible.
