Hard knock when at a stop. And loud ticking while accelerating
I can also feel a lot of vibration on my gas pedal.

Hi and thank you for using 2CarPros.com. I watched your video. It is hard to tell exactly what is happening, but I do hear it. If you have not already check the oil, do that first. If it is good, check oil pressure. To check it, you will need to get a mechanical pressure gauge. Remove the electric sending unit located below the oil filter and place the mechanical gauge in its place.

Here is a link that talks about different noises and their causes. Take a look to see if you find what yours is doing.

Here are general ways to fix an engine oil pressure noise:

One last thought. If everything checks okay, remove the serpentine belt from the engine. Start the vehicle to see if the noise goes away or changes. It could be coming from one of the belt driven accessories. I have attached a belt routing diagram for you to reference.

I hope this helps. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
