i always heard that your joints have fluid in them. the cracking sound is a llittle bubble of fluid popping.
The noise you hear is actually the breaking of small bubbles of carbon dioxide.

It is very weird to know that its gas bubbles though, they say you learn something everyday.

Although it sounds like youre breaking a bone, youre not.
When you crack your fingers you're pulling apart the bones at the joints, which changes the pressure in that space and causes the synovial fluid to form a bubble and pop when the pressure changes back to its normal state. That's what you hear.
