There are several theories of joint "cracking" noises. Some people think that "cracking" in the spine is a sign of excessive mobility and lack of muscle control of the joints, which if untreated could lead to arthritis. Joint noises in the knees, hips, or shoulders is sometimes a sign of injury to the cartilage in those joints, especially if accompanied with locking of the joints. For other explanations of joint sounds see this site.
