Not necessarily: Joint noise is often due to the forceful extraction of gas that has built up in the joint( cracking of knuckles) at other times it may be due to soft tissue structures like ligaments and tendons not gliding smoothly over the joint and moving with a snapping motion. Joint noise can however indicatec early changes of arthritis. Best to be seen medically and evaluated.
