Question Yet another Problem... Detonation maybe?

Under half throttle i am getting Light sounding metal tapping coming from engine... Not super loud. Could dirty spark plugs maybe have something burning on them making the detonation? And when the engine has Detonation is it faint or is it Really loud? I was running AM pm gas... then Just filled up with some chevron Plus Still doing it.

not sure if you can really get "bad" gas anymore. that **** is regulated like crazy right now so you can rule that out right off the bat... other than that idk. lets get some rotary legends to explain the metal sound
