Default Advice needed

I've tried to ask this before but with no luck.

I've got a loud knocking noise that I can hear clearly from inside the car, that appears when the car is up to temperature but idle. When I Rev the car slightly it goes, and them comes in again 20-30 seconds after it settles at idle again.

When the car has been driven for a few miles and is properly up to running temperature, it goes or maybe Is still there but only very quietly, and I'd really have to strain to hear it.

The car is running faultlessly and has not thrown up any fault codes etc. it was recently services at 54k and has had valve clearances adjusted.

Any advice on what it could be or similar experience would be massively appreciated. I'm really worried it's my bottom end?

Where is it?

Problem is, you probably won't be able to hear it once I'm there.

With mine though, you can't here it under the bonnet, just seems like from the inside. I'm confused!

It is just on the other end of the Tyne tunnel. Not as far as North Shields
