Question Low RPM Engine Ping

Is anyone else experiencing engine knock at low RPMs? Now that the warm weather is here and my windows have been down, I've been noticing some pinging up until ~2300 RPM, especially when climbing hills.

I have a stock '03 w/ 15k miles, and I always use 93 or 94 octane gas, and I don't remember hearing it last summer. I was wondering what causes this and what I can do to prevent it. Do I need to have the timing adjusted or is there some sort of additive I should add to my gas?

I'd get it to the dealer, shouldnt be a problem with the car standard.
