Sounds kind of weak to be knock. Knock will sound more like this.

thanks bro. but the video you showed can sometimes be exhaust leak. not sure. but if mine is too weak will it eventually be worse later? or is this the start of a knock?

Determin exactly where the sound is coming from. Could just be timing chain raddle.

When my KA got rod knock it sounded just like the one in the video I posted. I would try to find where the noise is coming from. Have you checked your oil pan for any dents?

i heard that it can be oil starvation? oil pump? no oil light though. because when it hit 3-4k rpm thats when you hear the knock...im going under the car today so ill check it out. listen to where its coming from.

Don't go by that oil warning "dummy" light. you should check for physical damage and maybe install a proper oil pressure gauge.

That oil warning light basically warns you that you'll have to buy a new engine :P

Sounds to me like it might be a lifter?

Like the others said, determine where it's coming from cause that'll be a clue as to what the problem is. IE. If the noise is coming from the top of the engine, it's unlikely to be rod knock...
