sounds like pinging or aka detonation. try upping the octane of the fuel you are using and also check your timing. a good tuneup wouldnt hurt either.

I had a firebird that I and someother people sore up and down had a valve noise. After long lengthy investigation it turnout to be a leaking header gasket. it only made noise when in part throttle also.
