knocking lifters?

hey yall
i have recently been plagued with a strang knocking sound comming from the engine. it is definatly comming from the top, so im thinking lifters? or maybe something with the injectors? i dont know. but the dealership say they "couldnt reproduce the problem"
and their is no CEL or oil light on, and a diagnostic test came up with nothing, but something is definatly a miss.....
i noticed the more RPMs the faster the knocking sound.... any ideas or solutions?
thanks
sean

It's hard to help you without actually hearing the problem. Is it really a knocking, or a tapping? Can you post a video of how it sounds? Is your oil level proper?
