It sounds like the knock can be an engine misfire; do you have a check engine light on? If so, let's run the codes to see which codes are stored which can be an ignition coil or spark plug issue.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. Please go over these guides and get back to us.

It seems like it is running okay, thanks for the video. Have you tried new spark plugs and ignition coils? Also, the code does not make sense. Do you have a p0301 style code?

Spark plugs were replaced recently, I will check again today and send you engine error code screen shot, it may help more. I think it can be from transmission gear box system. Thanks for support.

Yes, errors codes can help us. Also, I would replace the ignition coils and make sure none of the spark plugs are cracked, which is common.
