Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Popping and snapping within the knee is common, and often not a symptom of any particular problem. When the pops are painless, there is usually no problem, but painful pops and snaps should be evaluated by your doctor. A pop is often heard or felt during an injury when a ligament, such as the ACL, is torn.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
