The knocking noise could be due to a variety of issues such as worn out spark plugs, low engine oil, or even a faulty valve. I would recommend taking your car to a mechanic for a thorough inspection to determine the exact cause. It's always better to address any potential engine issues sooner rather than later.

Sometimes the knocking noise can be caused by using low quality fuel. Consider switching to a higher octane fuel and see if that makes a difference. If the noise persists, it may be a sign of a more serious issue and you should get it checked out.

Another possible reason for the knocking noise could be a problem with the timing belt. This is a crucial component of your engine and if it's not functioning properly, it can lead to major damage. Make sure to get your timing belt inspected regularly and replaced if needed.
