Hi guy's,
I've had this on my mind for a while now and I honestly don't know what the answer is, so I thought I'd just put it out there and ask for some opinions on the matter.

I maybe way off the mark here, but as I said I don't know.
It seems to me that when knock occurs and it's shock wave, for want of a better term, is transmitted through the block to the knock sensor. The knock, if you like, would be a harder one through iron than it would be through aluminium.
Is this the case? Or is there no difference at all?

And if it is. Is there a difference in the sensors and there signal sample windows? 

All the very best guy's
O.T.

The OEM's calibrate the sensors/sensing algorithms/filtering to listen for specific frequencies @ specific times. Yes, it's different for every engine, block type, sensor location, etc.
