A 2013 Kia Soul ticking noise may be caused by low oil or possibly caused by one of the recall issues from the manufacturer.
Ticking is a common symptom of very low oil levels in a car. If you hear ticking while driving, you should add more oil as soon as possible. Even better, schedule a complete oil change.
