I got similar issues with knocking our newly purchased used truck and check their reply

On the other threads, some folks used a higher octane to get rid of their knock problem. However, your knock problem might not be fuel issue.
Other threads has success of getting rid of their knocking noise by using a SeaFoam Motor Tune-Up (available at Napa $6) or similar solution. Possible issues with knocking or tapping noise is carbon buildup on other areas in the engine and so they used those solution to get rid of that knocking noise.
