Could be the start of them but usually the noise would be there from 0 revs all the way through range getting progressively worse so perhaps not,
It could be anything tbh mate from wishbones knocking to suspension best bet is to either get up on some ramps take a look or go to a local garage and get them to take a look mate.

My sti is doing it...
Only starts at about 4k... Bit of piston slap..??
Best bet is find a good garage and have a full check up on it..
Maybe not.. Keep fingers crossed
Top mounts the list of checks are endless..!

Big ends are normally audable at 2500rpm as you release the throttle - would imagine its something on the drivetrain.

Have you tried the same revs in different gears to see if it is still there?
