They are the same thing. They cause damage by applying the force of combustion to the piston before it has reached the top of its stroke, which basically pushes it "backwards"
Preignition.
Knocking is caused by preignition, where the heat in the cylinder causes the gas to ignite before the spark plug does. Try using a higher octane/grade gas and see if the noise goes away.
Preignition. If timing correct, you need more octane in your fuel.
Engine "knock" is preignition or detonation of the air-fuel mixture before the piston is in power stroke position. It is usually caused by a lean fuel mix. So to check for preignition, check your plugs for signs of lean running.
Sounds like preignition. A higher octane gas might help
It senses preignition or pinging and adjust ignition and sometimes fuel/air to prevent it. Pinging is the sound you get when driving a standard up a hill in to tall of a gear

it can be a number of problems O2 sensor mass airflow sensor any sensor gone bad or going bad gas cap loose plug wire grounding out. cause preignition. knocking sound go get a free diagnostic at any automotive part store
You shouldn't knock is detonation -preignition for some reason, possibly a timing issue. Exploding gases in your cylinder at the wrong time can possibly break pistons.
Diesel Engine combustion chamber types : Swirl port combustion chamber type and Preignition port combustion chamber type.
Too far advanced: Spark knock (also known as preignition), Hard starting, Damage to pistons, and Poor Performance. Overheating and very sluggish performance.
