Could it be your injectors ticking or lifters tapping?

yea thats not knock buddy. Your engine doesnt knock at idle. Those are your injectors ticking or lifters tapping. But not knock.

Yep its gotta be one of these 2 things. I would think its the lifters though. Check your oil level ASAP.

you would definetely know of you had rod knock, there would be no sticking your head in the engine bay to hear it.
