Nic is certainly right about it being hard to pinpoint a noise sometimes.

Although one would not generally expect pre-ignition on a single cylinder, I suppose it can happen. Have you tried higher octane fuel to see if that improves the condition? (Or conversely, lower octane to see if it becomes more prominent?) That might at least tend to confirm the symptoms are related to the suspected cause.
