Engine knock
Recently got a '99 GS300...don't know the history but appears well-maintained, serviced, etc. However, it has a knock that appears to be coming from the engine. Doesn't do it 100% of the time, but fairly often. I'm attaching a link to a video where you can hear the noise at 0:31 and again at 1:00.
Also, may be unrelating issues but also popping codes P0420 and P0440 for Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold and Evaporative Emission System respectively.
Any help is appreciated.

I had a knock very similar to that on my car. The flange that holds the box that contains the air filter was broken. Occasionally, it would vibrate and hit the vendor well. If it's not that, it sounds like something else is loose and occasionally hitting something.
