Low/No oil pressure leading to Bottom end Bearing failiure.
On standard pumps, the pan head screws that secure the backplate can come loose over time.
The relief valve can also get stuck, due to foreign debris jammimg the plunger.

What is the reason for your post - or to put it another way, what is it that leads you to believe you might have a faulty pump? Do you have a pressure gauge?

No. Even if the valve was stuck (and releasing itself), you will never hear it above the general din of startup/engine run. It's impossible to diagnose "noises" via the internet but it's pretty safe to say that your knock, whatever it is, is caused elsewhere.
