Default 2017 Macan GTS engine noise

My 2017 Macan GTS engine with 110k miles has a deep metallic knock which follows RPM and has no warning lights. Should I stop driving the vehicle and what is the prognosis? I'm looking for any insight and an independent qualified Porsche mechanic in Long Island, NY for repair. I appreciate your guidance, thanks!
