Hard Engine Knocking

If it makes the noise with the engine under a load it is likely a rod knock. With the engine idling the noise should be very low or quiet, as the engine speeds up you will be able to hear it. With the radio off get up to 50 mph or so and coast, if it is a rod the noise will go away and return when you get back on the gas.
