It's OK: The noise that joints make is not a problem and you don't need to do anything about it. If you have pain and stiffness then taking warm bath and making sure you are at a normal body weight and exercising regularly are important.

Early arthitis??: Morning stiffness may be a sign of a number of joint issues including arthritis. Is there pain?? Are you otherwise in good health? Do you exercise? If there is no pain chances are the noises you hear are the normal cartilages getting a little "calcified" (age related) May be time to mention these symptoms to your Health Care Provider Hope this helps! Good Luck!
