This is a Kia 2022 EX that is not even 6 months old off the lot. The car did not make such sounds when bought and I have only started to notice it in the last month after an oil change.

Dealership ran tests and compared to another exact model and claims it makes the same sound. Though the live test they did in front of me did not reproduce the issue. Their tech thinks the sounds origin is from the “integrated thermal management module.”

Any thoughts as to what this may be?

 

Maybe you’ll find an expert on a Kia forum, instead of a Mini forum?
