Water coming out of kitchen faucet smells like dirt. Faucet or well problem? (hexbear.net)

Don't think it's the well because the bathroom sink doesn't smell like dirt, just the kitchen. Soaked the faucet head in vinegar for 5 min and it still smells. It's harmless since the water tastes fine and doesn't leave a smell on dishware but it's just weird. Anyone know what might be up? Google says it could be an algae bloom in the well itself.

Sorry I mean, if you take a glass of water from the kitchen faucet and move it to another room, does the smell remain?

It might be that the drain has a dirt smell that doesn't become apparent until water is flowing is my thought.

Just tested it, the water didn't smell and I didn't smell anything in the drain, but the faucet has a faint earthy smell
