it is a natural thing happening, go into a noisy area and you won't hear it at all. All of our body parts make a noise as they are working much like your heart if you listen and you can hear that then you are still alive.

Do you mean that they sort of pop or crack? This is called TMJ. It stands for TemporoMandibular Joint. Your jaw is popping in and out of its joint when you chew and you could be grinding away bone. You should have this checked. It may not be anything to worry about, but if your case is severe enough, it may require surgery at some later date. If you chew gum, stop. Don't chew hard foods. Avoid eating anything that puts stress on your jaw. I had it and I had to stop chewing gum and it got a lot better. But, I had a friend who had to have part of his jaw joint replaced because of it.

Fried chicken is hard for you to chew?
Your dentures are moving.
