Yes: You are hearing the disc slip off the joint, which is a form of TMJ disorder. You should avoid opening wide and cut your apples up for a few weeks to allow the muscles to relax and the joint to settle in proper position. A TMJ splint should be made for you to help avoid the disc slipping as well.

Jawbone: Opening your mouth wide for a number of reasons can noise in your tmj. It is located just forward to your ear, so it may sound louder to you. It can be loud for others to hear. It is one symptom of an imbalance in your joint and muscles of your jaw. This may become more serious. Your dentist can treat or monitor this disorder.
