Some: sounds may be natural and audible if you pay attention. u r too young to have any arthritis. best to ignore and do regular exercises.

Joint space: there is always air in every joint space which is filled with joint ( synovial) fluid- the popping you hear or feel is similar to "cracking" your knuckles
