Why is my Kia Stonic making a weird noise when I turn on the AC?

Recently, whenever I turn on the AC in my Kia Stonic, I notice a strange noise coming from the engine. It almost sounds like a clicking or rattling sound. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

Diana, it's common for the AC compressor to make a noise when it's first turned on. This could be due to a worn AC compressor belt or a loose bolt. I would recommend taking your Kia Stonic to a mechanic to have it checked out.

Hi Diana, it's possible that the noise you're hearing is coming from the AC evaporator. Over time, debris and mold can build up on the evaporator, causing it to make a noise when the AC is turned on. I would suggest having a mechanic clean the evaporator and replace the air filter to see if that resolves the issue.
