My friend hears a cracking noise in her head. she can feel the build up to it, and then it cracks. it is audible enough for someone near her to hear?

Eustachian tube: One possibility is that your friend may be experiencing her eustachian tube opening under pressure. Eustachian tubes run on both sides between the back of the throat and the middle ears, and they open to equalize pressure between those two places, as in when your ears "pop" at high altitudes.
