If it is under acceleration, there is a good chance it could be from the driveshaft wobbling. Maybe your center bearing is out to lunch. If the frequency of knocking increases with speed that is a good clue. Otherwise yes, probably suspension related, but you need to isolate the noise more carefully, perhaps drive by an observer or something like that.

Good luck.
