Does it vary with throttle opening and almost dissapear when the throttle is closed? If so its probably an injector.

No when you rev it over 2000 revs it gets louder when on tick over it sounds normal even up to 2000 revs over that it's knocking like a good one

Does the actual throttle setting i.e. the ammount its pulling affect the noise level?

Examine your camshaft and the valve followers. You may find these severely worn.
