Hi,
These noises should not bother you and you should remain active and carry on as you would normally. Perhaps, try relaxation techniques of breathing, yoga, or meditation.
These can often time relieve enough muscle tension in the neck and shoulders to reduce such sounds but they do not represent anything serious.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
