No remedy needed: Cracking noises mean nothing unless they cause pain.

Crepitus: This is referred to as "crepitus". As long as there is no pain, there is really nothing specific to be done about it. If there is associated pain, it could represent inflammation, torn or uneven cartilage, or other issues that should be evaluated by a doctor.
