"Knocking" is too general a description of the sound. But it helps to know that you had a limited success with the things you did.
I would have replaced the spark plugs and wires together with the coil pack.
You could also add a fuel system cleaner like "Techron".
That's for starters anyway.

Two other things come to mind about this time, and they are the EGR system may not be functioning possibly because the ports may be plugged with carbon or the EGR valve may not be working although that should throw a code if bad enough.
The other possibility could involve the knock sensor not retarding timing when it detects the noise you describe as knocking.
Bluewind hit on a good possibility and that could be an accumulation of carbon in the combustion chambers.
