I heard a weird sound like wind or paper ripping when i cracked my neck this morning. i found a neck brake in my garage, so i have that on right now, but should i go to the hospital to ensure i didn't damage any intervertebral disks?

Very unlikely you damaged anything, Unless you are having symptoms of a disc. Google it.

Anybody with these type of symptoms should go to the emergency room for evaluation immediately. There is a possibility of having injured your neck.
