You often can hear detonation, but not always unfortunately.

It sounds like valve clatter on a OHV engine...kind of a marbles in a can sort of sound.

It's usually heard in our cars if you're lugging the engine in too high a gear at low speeds, or at while sharply hitting the gas at high highway speeds.
