Get it checked: You're describing what is called 'crepitus': a popping or snapping sound when move shoulder, which is a ball and socket joint attached to muscles, tendons, cartilage, bone. It is a complicated joint and the snap, whether it is associated with or without pain, could represent a significant abnormality. Check with orthopod with special interest in shoulders.
