Rings around one or more of the pistons have worn down to the point of letting the piston 'SLAP' around in the cylinder. So it is called 'piston slap'. It gets louder as the engine goes faster so you may not be able to hear it at idle.
The only remedy I know if is a ring job. Otherwise you'll just have to drive slow and pour more and more oil into the engine between oil changes.
