25 yo. Ok, I have started running recently; I'm a beginner. I run on average 2-3 times/week for about 2 miles or 30 min. I'm doing pretty good and not having any pain, but I notice that I can her some weird noises in my left knee. No pain at all and only in left knee but when ever it bends, particularly if my weight is on it, I hear what sounds almost like knee creaking or like the faint sound of knuckes being cracked. Its very faint and its not a popping noise, but very faint when there's motion in that knee. Has anyone else experienced this or maybe know what it is?

Noise from your knee could be a sign of cartilage damage.
Wear good shoes, run on level surfaces, be careful.
If you experience pain you need to find out for sure.
Walking or biking will give you a good workout if you do have problems with your knees.
Warm up good and stretch.
Pain is your main indicator of a problem so don't ignore it if you do have pain.

I often hear a noise similar to your explanation in my shoulder and sometimes my knee I think it is pretty normal. I think it might just be the overusage of the limb. I would say that you might want to make sure that you have well supported shoes, not just when you run, but on an everyday basis try birkenstocks. Also you may want to try to run on your toes more instead of flat footed if you do and also you could try to ice them 20min. on 20min off

I could agree on getting your knees looked at. Besides additional calcium i could seem into what form of footwear you put on, for the reason that footwear have an excessively significant have an effect on at the potency of your jogging.

Don't rely on speculation you get from Y!A on this one. Get to a sports-medicine clinic or doctor and get an accurate diagnosis. Delaying this could cause you permanent damage and a running career.
Good Luck
