What could cause someone to hear a knocking/clicking sound with each heartbeat in chest during quiet night in bed without a stethoscope? They stand upright, there's no noise anymore. Moreover, their chest X-ray and EKG done few months ago is normal?

So, when I place my hand on my chest to feel my heart beat how fast should I feel it pumping? I dont mean I feel my heart beat in my fingers, like I touch my chest and I can feel it, like when you use a stethoscope to hear. I just want to clarify?
