Why is my Kia Ceed making a rattling sound while accelerating?

I recently noticed that my Kia Ceed is making a strange rattling sound whenever I accelerate. It doesn't happen when I'm idling or driving at a constant speed. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Nicolas, a rattling sound while accelerating can be a sign of a loose heat shield or exhaust system. It's a good idea to take your car to a mechanic and have them check for any loose or damaged parts in the undercarriage.

Hey Nicolas, the rattling could also be caused by worn-out engine mounts. These mounts are responsible for keeping the engine stable and any wear and tear can cause excessive engine movement and strange noises. Have a mechanic check your engine mounts and replace them if necessary.

Hello Nicolas, I had a similar issue with my Kia Ceed and it turned out to be a loose heat shield. I tightened the bolts myself and the rattling stopped immediately. You can try doing the same, just be careful not to over-tighten the bolts.
