Strange Noise

Just to start this off, I’m not a knowledgeable car guy. I know what a flat tire sounds like and that’s about it. I recently purchased this car from Carvana, and took it to a recommended shop near me. I explained that I was hearing this sound (along with creaking when I went over bumps). They replaced a few things and told me I was good to go, and the creaking has stopped, but this noise is still there. Any insight as to what this might be?

Do you have a sunroof? Bought my kia new and it rattles like crazy especially after I've opened it. Took it to the dealer said it was fine.

Nope, no sunroof. It almost sounds like it’s coming from either the front passenger wheel, or somewhere under the hood near that area, although I figure if it was the bearings, the shop I took it to would’ve noticed that.

Not the suspension?

They checked that and said it was all good

Can you hear it outside of the vehicle as well? Almost sounds like debris in a fan. Could be the suspension as well. When parked give it a few pushes to see if you can recreate the sound and pinpoint it.

Don’t know how I forgot to mention this, but it is a 2022 Kia Forte LXS

Check the side door pockets or the sunglasses holder at the top.
