Exclamation Engine knock?

I have a 2008 S Sport with the 2.3/automatic. Question: does the engine create a slight knocking noise (the noise isn’t random, the noise doesn’t go away and then reappear) or is do I have a problem? I have heard this noise whenever I am off of the freeway and putting my car in part or while at a light.....
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

d-machine is an unknown quantity at this point
from what i have heard its the injectors.. they are very loud naturally... shouldnt be anything to be concearned about.. also depending on your location ive heard that changing oil to 5w30 will quiet the engine noise a bit

I think they left small japanese guy in there he is the one knocking...lol
Well i am agree with D-MACHINE on injectors parts. but i dont think you need 5w30 due to your car is not that old. just get oil chance and see if it make any different in knocking. i have o4 and every time i here that it mean its time for oil chance.

Well even when i change the oil, I still hear it. Its not anything the dealer told me I need to worry about it...
So hopefully they are right
