Popping...: Popping is common and is not always associated with something being wrong. If you have no pain, discomfort or locking i wouldn't worry too much. Popping can be caused by fibrous bands of tissue sliding across the joint, cavitation from pressure changes in the joint and from cartilaginous structures in the joint.
