Default Noise coming from intake manifold

Can bad spark plugs make a small knock or thump sound under the intake manifold. After the car has been driving a minute it goes away

Is this a recent sound or has it always been there?

What kinda car, engine, mileage etc? Do you hear it in the air intake or at the throttle body?

Do you hear this while in the drivers seat and you are driving the car?

Can you hear it with the hood up standing next to the engine bay and revving it....?
