It is never pleasurable to hear a sound you don’t know anything about and comes from your car. So what if you identify a noise that lasts in the cabin of your Kia Xceed?

Our team has written this article to help you find and solve this cabin noise.

Reasons that can cause noise in the passenger cabin of your Kia Xceed
I experience plastic rattling noises on the dashboard Kia Xceed
One of the plausible elements that can generate a plastic rattling noise in your Kia Xceed is that your dashboard, following an intervention or vibrations suffered during its lifetime, it may have fasteners that have come loose or unscrewed. Try to identify the particular place of this plastic rattling noise on Kia Xceed and using your vehicle’s technical manual try to verify the tightness of all the screws involved. Otherwise take your car to your auto mechanic.
I discern noises in the cabin Kia Xceed
The second most common possibility of a cabin noise in your Kia Xceed is that some elements that come apart may be loose, either because of too frequent disassembly that would have reduced the holding between these parts, or because of vibrations. Think about examining your ceiling light which is frequently the cause of a cabin noise on Kia Xceed. Otherwise open your doors, those closest to the source of the noise and verify all the openings, covers that are installed there, some may have moved and therefore vibrate while driving. Generally putting them back in place or gluing them is enough to resolve the problem.
I feel door noises on my Kia Xceed
If you feel a plastic noise on the doors of your Kia Xceed, it is plausible that it is one of your door trim fasteners that is destroyed, or a screw from an internal mechanism of the glass for example or the loudspeaker that has unscrewed and therefore generates the component in question to rub against the door interior. Feel free to disassemble your door trim to find the reason of this plastic door noise on Kia Xceed. For more details on door noises on Kia Xceed, feel free to read this article.
I hear a cabin noise when hot Kia Xceed
If, on the other hand, you feel cabin noises in your Kia Xceed when summer arrives or when the outside temperature is warm, it is sadly obvious that this trouble manifests itself more during these periods. In fact, plastic being a rather flexible material will expand with heat and will therefore much more easily rub on other plastic or metal parts, this is what will generate cabin noises when hot on your Kia Xceed. It is difficult to resolve this problem, you can always look for the exact origin of the noise, and try to put foams or tape between the expanding units to limit their noise from their expansion.
