It sounds like knock. Other signs would be blown head gasket, broken rods, etc....

yeah... but at higher RPM's you won't even hear the knock, it becomes to high pitch for humans.

I think our car comes with a knock sensor... does anyone know for sure though? I now if it does, when it detects a knock it retards the timing to prevent blowing it's self up.

yeah, we have a knock sensor.

I found this a while ago... if you have a laptop, you can do the same. It's pretty cool if you get up to those points where it's impossible to hear.
