Hard to say. We are more likely to form a reasoned answer when you provide more detailed information with your question. What site did the sound come from? Has there been any other symptom/finding arise from that location? You are welcome to start over.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Regular aerobic exercise would help by improving muscle strength and flexibility. For the short term you may take acetaminophen, no more than 4 g on one day, no alcohol. If that does not help it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
