Default Engine Knocking while at idle

Hey ive been listening to my engine now for a few days and ive noticed that it makes a kind of Knock and it sounds like its more down by the bottom but when ive used a stethiscope i can only hear the motor not a knock ive listened to it on the oil pan ive listened for it on the block and still dont hear it......im stumped its an 99 dodge ram with a 5.2 motor and it has a60 thousand miles on it its still strong and dosent hesitate at all ive changes the oil every 2 thousand miles maybe the oils not thick enuff i have excellent oil pressure but idk what to do or what the knock is....it dosent get any louder with reving it up either any ideas guys?
