The lack of oil may have caused a bearing to spin. The noise is most commonly called a knocking rod. Time to rebuild or replace the engine.

My 2004 Nissan altima makes a knocking sound when I start it up. When I drive it maks a rattling noise. Is this a transmission problem?

Sounds more like a lack of oil or oil circulation problem. I hope you are not one that races the engine to hear how good it sounds. Flush the engine, change the oil and filter and never race a cold engine to warm it up. The rattling may be worn out lifters. Now pray. lol

I have a 2000 Daewoo 2.0 Rattling from engine and oil light comes on and off It has plenty of oil in the engine?

The oil light is not there to let you know the oil level is low. It's to notify you that the oil pressure is low. There are many things that can cause this, and being low on oil (you'd actually need to be almost completely out of oil) is only one of them. Take it to a mechanic to find out what the problem actually is. "Rattling from engine" is a bad sign.
