What Causes Popping Sound In Neck When Infant Wakes Up Suddenly?

I was putting my 6 month old to bed and went to gently turn her head to the side and push it down on the bed when she popped up in the same instance and I heard her neck pop. She cried so hard for a few moments but now seems fine. Should I be concerned?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
it's the sound of tendons mostly,, it does not harm the baby but some babies might have slight pain on neck if we suddenly lift the baby with giving proper support to head and neck.. give proper head position with round pillow to avoid over flexion or extension of neck.
