    See your health care provider as soon as possible (orthopedic). Noises in the joints, especially the knees, can be quite disturbing and cause concern. Often, these noises are not indicative of any underlying problem. Knee cracking and popping usually has a "bark that is worse than its bite." Such noise often persists for years without any real problem developing. If there is no pain with cracks or pops, you can assume it is being caused by the soft tissue in a joint.
    Chondromalacia patella cause knee pain under the kneecap and is due to softening of the cartilage. It is most common in younger patients (15-35 years old).
    Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is another condition seen in adolescents due to the growth of the bone around the joint.
    I hope this helps you. And good luck.
