i'm pretty sure it's just at start up. and I really only think it is sometimes, not every start up. But i could be wrong on that.

But it's def only at start up because after i drive and put in park and step out, there is no knocking. so yea, just at initial start up.

and I never checked if it increased with rpms.

They all do it. Not really an issue once you know what it is.

To have some peace of mind I would have to suggest you possibly get the vehicle checked over to make sure there aren't any issues with the vehicle. Hopefully your vehicle comes out with a clean bill of health. If you do get your vehicle checked could you let us know what they have to say about it? Thank you.
