Yes, I have some clicking in my right hand. My thumb and first 2 fingers will do this on occasion. And sometime my big toe on my right foot.(this was the toe the boulder smashed several years ago).

Clicking is the tendons moving I believe. Snapping/clicking.

This is less serious and many people have it.

Grinding/crunching sounds are called crepitus, and indicate arthritis in some people.. this is typically a more serious sign

I have this in my knees.
