Joint popping is usually harmless, as long as it isn't accompanied by pain.
generally, knee noise is due to the tendons rubbing over/snapping across the bones, or joint fluid being squished in and out of the joint.
I have found that having the chiropractor pull and straighten my lower legs occasionlly helped with the knee tracking correctly, thus less cracking and popping.
Be sure you have a balanced lower body workout so that your quadriceps and hamstring strength is balanced, not pulling the knee joint one way or the other excessively.
Also be sure to stretch your hamstrings and calves, this may help if muscle tightness is contributing.
Check out myt post on heel pian, the rotationla hamstring stercth is really a good stretch for the entire hamstring area.
