There is a sensitivity setting for aftermarket knock systems. The oem tests for thousands upon thousands of hours to fine tune their knock systems with respect to gain on the signal and to tune out phantom noise. Even with all those engineers and hours, you still hear new oem vehicles knocking in traffic, going up hills, you name it. This because they're tuning for strict emissions. In the aftermarket tuning world, you're usually going for performance first not emissions so you have more flexibility to tune away from the knock limit and focus on power output.
