umm, best way to describe is like shaking a can of marbles. but when you've got a really loud exhaust, or bov and intake it may be really hard to distinguish the sound, unless you're knocking really bad. (ask franco about that)
i've never experienced audible knocking in my car, but switching to another gas brand may help...

to me it sounds like a crackling sound, almost like metal shavings or parts rattlling around in the exhaust
