The knock disappears at higher revs because there is more fuel from the injector and it burns closer to the ideal. At idle, any slight deviation from a perfect spray pattern can cause a slight knock. It's not an issue to drive it this way, indefinitely. Hell, the 617 lives with such noise........practically forever.
