Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Cracking sounds in the knee has nothing to do with Osgood schlatter's disease. Those sounds could be possibility due to Patello-femoral arthritic changes which are commonly seen in people involved in sporting activities.
The popping sound coming from your gluteal region could be due to a snapping Hip.
Consult an orthopedic surgeon for further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
