Have you ever knocked on a tank? It hardly makes a sound and is like knocking on a solid rock.

Nope, I haven't. Have you knocked on a T-26 or BT-7, one of which the tank most likely was? It also does not specify with what he knocked, could have been rifle butt or the handle of the grenade.

My money would be on that they noticed him climbing the tank and wanted to get rid of him before he could set it ablaze with a Molotov cocktail or some such thing.

Why would he climb the tank? He could throw the Molotov cocktail from the side/rear and hit the engine exhaust and/or intake that was on the rear deck.
PS. I have no idea how true this account is, but I know that these invidual feats against enemy tanks were quite common during the Winter and Continuation Wars.
