Why does your harmonic balancer make noise?
It shouldn't make noise. If it does, replace it!
If the rubber gasket on the harmonic balancer is ripped up will this cause a bad knocking noise How do you replace it if need be?
Hard to say. However, if the "rubber gasket" you're talking about is the center bushing on your harmonic balancer, that could throw your Harmonic balancer out of balance. This could easily make it shake to beat the band which in turn could be the knocking noise you're hearing. I suggest you get it looked at immediatly. If that is what happened, your engine won't survive long.

It could be the harmonic balancer. This is the first pulley on the engine drive shaft that drives all the other pulleys with the serpentine belt. It is quite easy to look at it and see if the rubber has deteriorated. I had this problem with my '92 PA.

Does a harmonic balancer knock when it goes bad on a 305 Chevy?
The balancer is made of 2 pieces That have a rubber piece in the center of them that hold the balancer together. If the balancer comes apart YES it will knock / make noise and the engine would vibrate/shake. You would be able to move 1 piece of the balancer with your hand if that was the case. Check it.
What could the problem be if a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville is making a loud knocking rattle noise but it is not smoking and still runs smooth?
Could also be the harmonic balancer. When they go bad they make a knocking noise when the engine is idling. If it has a rod or main bearing going bad it would NOT affect the way it runs so you could have a serious problem in the motor itself. If the rod or main is going out it will not run long like that. SORRY TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU THIS. Ray
