joint cracking is genneraly caused by 2 things. 1. moving an unstable joint (i.e weakness 2. moving a joint beyond the end of active range of motion.
#1 is caused by muscle weakness or imbalance causing stress on the joint. these pop's or crack's can be multiple and happen perisstantly with certain movements (i.e. squatting down may create the popping/cracking/grinding noise).
#2 is caused by liquid nitrogen being released into its gas form inside the joint capsule of the joint being "cracked". This is termed a joint cavitation (i.e. crackingyour knuckles or getting an adjustment). #2 cracking may be louder when atmospheric pressure either drops or raises (weather changes)
lack of certain nutrients, probably iron or viatamin B
