What Causes Knee Snap And Pop?

when i bend my knee, it creates slight discomfort, but what alarms me is a very loud popping. I walk and do my usual things without incident, but if I bend my knew back as if to stretch the front thigh muscle and I release my leg, the knee (I think it s the knee) pops and can be heard as loud as a usual tone of a tv. what s happening?
