Default Mystery knocking noise?

I have heard about a "knocking" noise that occassionally appears, and today while practicing I definitely heard it. Its not unlike a car that is experiencing a pre-detonation problem and gets that knocking sound when you accelerate or go up hill. It stopped when I changed the data logging on my Castle HV 80 back to 1 Hz.

Has anyone else experienced this or something like it?

Does anyone know what is actually making the sound?

Could it be harmful to the motor?




In any case, like I said it went away when I changed the sampling rate.


As always, thanks for any input.
