The shock wave creates the characteristic metallic "pinging" sound, and cylinder pressure increases dramatically. Effects of engine knocking range from inconsequential to completely destructive. Knocking should not be confused with pre-ignition—they are two separate events. However, pre-ignition can be followed by knocking.
Steady-state driving keeps the noise in play, too, as it sounds like an engine is humming away at a constant rpm from inside the cabin. There’s no shifting or simulation thereof, as in the ...
The North Luzon Expressway's raised plastic transverse rumble strips approaching Balintawak Toll Barrier, Philippines. Rumble strips (also known as sleeper lines or alert strips) are a traffic calming feature to alert inattentive drivers of potential danger, by causing a tactile fuzzy vibration and audible rumbling transmitted through the wheels into the vehicle interior.

In space, no one can hear you scream -- but you may hear a knock. When he was alone in a spacecraft in 2003, astronaut Yang Liwei reportedly heard a "knock" despite being alone.
Ford revealed a new electric NASCAR prototype vehicle based on the roadgoing Mustang Mach-E crossover.. The prototype features carbon-fiber body panels and borrows its suspension, brakes, steering ...
The mixture known as gasoline or petrol, when used in high compression internal combustion engines, has a tendency to knock (also called "pinging" or "pinking") and/or to ignite early before the correctly timed spark occurs (pre-ignition, refer to engine knocking).
On the descent from Ais Gill summit, the driver heard a repeated knocking which he thought came from the connecting rods where they were connected to the locomotive's drive wheels. He reduced speed and later stopped the train in a gale-force wind while it was snowing at Garsdale, but was unable to find the cause of the noise. He continued south ...
