Engine knocking

Hi Folks,

2018 Camaro 2.0T 6M, 2500 miles. Love my new car, but when I roll on the gas, I hear what I call a trace knock, then it goes away. I'm talking the classic "pinging", not rod knock. However, if I roll on the gas and keep it matted the light engine knock is persistent. Naturally I don't persist in keeping it floored when I hear the knocking, but it means I'm hesitant to go full throttle. I've noticed this since I bought the car new with 10 miles.
Granted, today was over 100 degrees (I'm in SoCal), but it always seems to do this. I only run Top Tier gas, highest octane I can put in, which around here is 91. Would a tune help with this?
Thanks in advance,
