I was wondering if I could have some help recognizing what might be going on. After you drive the car for like 10 min. you start hearing a knocking noise ,but it is by where the timing chain would be. Is this a common problem for when the timing is off or anything? Appreciate your help...

You would have to check the chain, by removing the cover, there may be a broken guide or cog in gear.

You can remove the valve cover and look down at chain and gears with light.
