Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I think this noise comes from circulation of normal synovial fluid around the ankle joint. Since you do not have any pain or swelling I would say that you do not have to worry at all but continue the life normally.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
