What Causes Cracking Sounds In Neck?

Hi, about a 2 months ago I got into purposely neck cracking, I got curious and decided to search it up, finding out it was a bad habit so I decided to try and stop. Just before I tried to stop, my neck made a cracking sound whenever I looked to the right. There was no pain but it was very annoying. After about 2 weeks the cracking stopped on its own and I unfortunatly got back into the neck cracking habit. After about a week of cracking, the sounds came back. I have had them for about a month now and I have not seen a doctor of any kind, I do not take medication either. Do you know what this is so I can stop worrying? Thanks - Jack
