Knee cap problems: When bend your knee you increase the pressur behind the knee cap and the thigh bone, and when problem get worse debri fall from the friction and cause the knee to hear.

Hard to say: While the pain on flexion can be something as simple as some degenerative changes on the back of the patella. It needs to be evaluated further for a specific diagnosis is there an effusion or swelling preventing the motion or is there some internal derangement such as a meniscal tear, loose body or ligamentous injury.
