Did you contact Hyundai directly on your situation or whoever installed your engine 2 years ago? Was it new or used? I also recommend getting into the habit of checking the oil every time you gas up with fuel and add oil as necessary. I wouldn't drive your car anymore until you determine what is making the noise.

This is why you check the oil level. People these days seem to think that cars require no maintenance until they break.
