Ofcourse, the answer is no. It makes you sound like a bowl of Rice Bubbles and never goes over well in church. While it's painful for us to hear, you're not doing any harm to your joints, bones or muscles when you crack - unless you feel pain as you do it. The noise is caused buy the high-pressure suction of gas being expelled when your joints move apart. If it hurts when your knuckles or kness crack, you may need to see your doctor to assess what kind of joint damage you may have.
