A high probability is that one or more of the injectors is suffering from a bit of dirt. I would suggest that you use a fuel/injector cleaner (fluid) in a full tank of fuel and monitor the noise over the use of the tankfull. It may clear but even if it does not your fuel system in general will benefit. The treatment is designed to keep the system clean for up to ten refuellings. It would be a good idea to ensure that each injector's electrical plug is making good contact with the injector. A slightly loose tappet clearance could also be the cause.

All the best, Peter.
