Why is my 2011 Kia Forte’s engine making a ticking noise?

My brother borrowed my 2011 Kia Forte the other day and when he brought it back he told me he could hear a ticking noise coming from the engine. Why would my engine make a ticking noise?

If your 2011 Kia Forte’s engine is making a ticking noise, it may not have enough oil. It’s also possible that there is a hitch or malfunction in the ignition system, or you may have an exhaust leak.
To know for sure, you’ll need to bring your Kia to a dealership or other certified mechanic so they can check out your Forte’s systems.
While waiting for the mechanic’s diagnosis, it could be a good idea to pop on the
