If you're asking about a specific engine, it would be helpful to provide more context. For example, you could tell me:
* What kind of engine is it? (e.g., a car engine, a plane engine, a generator)
* What are the symptoms? (e.g., loud knocking, rattling, hissing)
* When does the noise happen? (e.g., when starting, accelerating, idling)
With more information, I might be able to give you some helpful advice or suggest what the problem could be.
