Grab a tin can, put some rocks in it, shake
That's about as close as I can think of.
It's not a tick, it's not a knock, it just sounds like a bunch of "ping"'s and usually occurs under heavy load (3/4 throttle or more). (FYI, PING = Pre-Ignition)

ping sounds just like the name implies. Light ping will literally sound like a metallic 'ping' thats actally a shock wave traveling tyhrough the engine from colliding flame fronts. If you listen closely, sometimes on a hot day in traffic with regular in the tank, you might be able to hear an occasional ping when you go to accelerate.
