Default Piston Slap or Pinging!!!

Just recently i have been noticing some excessive noise or pinging when i give it about 3/4 throttle or more. Im afraid it could be pinging but am not sure how it sounds. Is pinging an actually high pitch "ping" which happens pretty fast or am i just worrying for no reason due to piston slap or something. How much damage can pinging do? I have Hypertech Tuners by the way. Thanks
