Many things actually, like not taking care of your vehicle and letting the oil in it get bad, which could cause the engine to blow up!
When the fuel in an engine cylinder ignites prematurely or unevenly to cause power fluctuations and a "knocking" sound. usually occurs when an engine is very how or improperly timed.
When water hammer occurs in a plumbing system, it sounds like a loud banging or knocking noise.
The knocking sound in your water pipes is likely caused by a phenomenon called water hammer. This occurs when the flow of water is suddenly stopped or redirected, causing a pressure surge that creates the knocking noise. It can be caused by factors such as high water pressure, loose pipes, or a malfunctioning valve. Addressing the root cause can help eliminate the knocking sound in your pipes.
Engine knocking occurs in a vehicle when there are misfires in the spark plug ignition causing an air/fuel mixture to explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front. This condition could be very damaging to an engine if not checked by a mechanic.

If it's knocking when accelerating, the engine could be starving for the correct octane fuel ... try the mid-grade or premium fuel and see if it still occurs. Could also be that the timing belt needs to be adjusted/replaced. If the knocking sounds like metal on metal, chances are you are in for a bigger bill for a possible engine rebuild. At any rate, have it checked out by a mechanic soon.
The knocking sound in your pipes when water is not running is likely due to a phenomenon called water hammer. Water hammer occurs when water flow is suddenly stopped or redirected, causing a shockwave that creates the knocking sound. This can be caused by loose pipes, high water pressure, or faulty valves. It is important to address this issue to prevent damage to your plumbing system.
Knocking and pinking, often referred to as "knock" or "ping," are terms used to describe abnormal combustion in an internal combustion engine. Knocking occurs when fuel-air mixture ignites prematurely in the cylinder, leading to a knocking sound and potential engine damage. Pinking specifically refers to a similar phenomenon where the combustion produces a sharper, more pronounced sound, typically associated with higher octane fuel requirements not being met. Both issues can reduce engine efficiency and longevity if not addressed.

Anti-knocking agents are additives used in gasoline to prevent engine knocking, which occurs when fuel ignites prematurely in the combustion chamber. Common anti-knocking agents include tetraethyl lead (historically used but now largely phased out due to environmental concerns), ethanol, and various octane boosters like MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) and iso-octane. These agents increase the octane rating of fuel, allowing for smoother combustion and improved engine performance. The use of anti-knocking agents helps enhance fuel efficiency and reduce engine wear.
Sometimes. It depends on what is causing the knocking.
I Hear You Knocking was created in 1970-11.
