If your refering to detonation, it wouldn't be happening while the car is at idle.

so if it is the injectors how would you go about solving the problem, because i have a similar problem, and gas additives have not helped.

Its not a problem - its just a characteristic of the injector design.... nothing you can do about it.

you are hearing a combination of things which are perfectly normal for the most part, you are hearing lifter and valve noise, spark plug ignition, and injectors pulses....
