I would hold on this .. I'm thinking now it may be that old Delta cleat on old Look pedal I pulled from my wife's bike few days ago ...but she never complained..but it does not mean anything..
A creaking or tinging (I guess it could technically sound like a knocking) could come out of a bottom bracket shell, but I'm assuming you've properly installed your bracket and cups, everything is properly tensioned and greased. In some older frames where they used locktite, I've heard of a creaking, but not a knocking. Most modern **** out there has pretty good bearings, unless its crappier than a '52, even then if its greased and packed right, shouldn't be getting a pop or ting out of it - let alone a knocking sound.
