What could be causing my 2013 Hyundai Elantra ticking noise?

I have a 2013 Elantra and it’s been ticking recently. I can’t see any patterns in its ticking but I don’t want to overlook something that could become more serious later. What could be causing my 2013 Hyundai Elantra ticking noise?

Bonnie Stinson · Updated on Nov 1, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

The most common cause for a 2013 Hyundai Elantra ticking noise is low oil levels, but it may also be an ignition issue or an unsecured piston head.

To start, try getting an oil change for your Elantra and see if this resolves the problem.

If an oil change doesn’t solve the issue, you should ask a mechanic to assess the issue. Left undiagnosed, these problems could lead to bigger (and more expensive) damage.
