Sounds very much like drive shaft when it's under load.

Dual mass flywheel mate, if its knocking it gone out of balance hence 'dangle berries'ed!! may not be it tho but usually if you dip the clutch and the noise disappears it is!!!

surely if it was the flywheel then you would have the knocking all the time. or is it summat that only appears under load. :-/
