Default Noticing some pre-ignition...

I'm noticing some valve rattle the last several months on light excelleration. 2000 Coupe, no mods other than an Airhog air filter and some eckler stock exhaust bypass tubes. I always run 93 octane and use shell about every 3-4 tanks. The car has 82k miles. Any ideas?

Any codes come up related to the knock sensor? Ever changed the fuel filter or spark plugs?
