Exclamation Engine knock on my OM602

Hey everyone, I am new on this forum and a newer owner of a W124 300D with the OM602 engine. Lately the engine start developing a little knock which sounds metallic to me and I am a little worried about it. Is there any way that I could load up a video with the sound of my engine?
Thanks!

When the engine is warmed up at 80 Deg Celsius, the noise goes away.
Thanks!

Well...I have the video with sound on my computer, I didn't put it on youtube, yet, they are asking me to get a google account, which I found to be weird. I just posted on facebook under my name: Puiu Solea. See if you can see it there, please !
Thanks!
