Toyota Camry 1991, 240k mi, petrol, 2.0L.
Knocking sound feels like it is coming from the front side passenger door/window. It is steady and slow, medium volume. It sounds just like somebody is outside, knocking, trying to get your attention.
Knocking begins as soon as the key turns onto semi-on mode where just radio and windows work. When I fully start the engine the noise stops for 1 second then continues as before.
Haven't tried driving it or revving it. Tried opening/shutting the passenger door/window to no avail. Car has 240,000mi on it.
Problem started after the car hadn't been used in about 30 hours. I have owned the car for 5 days. Don't know its history, but it worked great for a 6hr roadtrip, it sounds good and is responsive.

Can you record the noise, upload it into a video hosting site, and give us the link?
Power antenna motor running because of a broken mast spline cable?
