What Causes Subtle Crunching Sounds From My Knee?

Both my knees make very subtle crunching sounds when I climb stairs, although I have no pain whatsoever. I m 60 y.o. and in great shape, engaging in weight training three times a week and riding a stationary bike a mile each of the three days. Should I be concerned about my knees?

Hi, if you have no pain, than do not be concerned with sounds, these are normal for joints of many people, and are due to the close fluid compartment of the joint and since knee is a big and superficial joint it is appreciated more here
