First stop and check that you have enough oil! Sometimes low oil can make this noise.

Is it a dull thud thud knock or is it a ping ping knock?

Thud thud knock is the sound of a part inside your engine, like a connecting rod, that has a worn bearing. This is serious, if (when) the rod breaks your engine will be destroyed.

Ping ping knock is combustion knock and can sometimes be fixed by using high octane gas.

The knocking sound can be heard after the engine comes up to temperature, especially during acceleration. Is it worth it to ask a mechanic check the conrod bearings?
