Evaluation needed: Hard to say. A chiropractor can evaluate your concerns.

Noises: Noises are normal in many joints when fluid dynamics cause flow of fluid in the capsule. Discs moving make noise also. These are normal sounds of life in motion. However, the loose ligaments of some people are abnormal and allow excessive motion and more sounds emanate from the joints. Finally there is osteoarthritis related noises and those are more of a grating sound of bone on bone.
