Default Pinging?

I plan on bumping my timing and after reading all the posts about Bumping timing and "pinging" I want to know; what does this "pinging" sound like, is it REALLY noticable or a very distinct sound or could it be mistaken for lifter tick?

It's noticable. You'll know what it is when you hear it

Pinging, also known as spark knock, will sound more like a rattle rather than a tick.
