knocking noise from the engine bottom

i recently bought my svx
and i just realized this knocking noise
at high RPMs you can't hear it from the inside but in idle (600rpm) you can even feel it on the brake pedal
the noise can easily be heard from under the car (front)
it becomes faster at higher RPMs...didn't go away even at 3000
as i said i recently bought it so i don't know what gas octane rating she's been using or what kind of engine oil it has
but it has done only 200 miles in the last 8 months
i took a video of it but when i play it back, i can't even hear the noise!!! weird
should i change the oil and other stuff or do i need to take her to a mechanic?
