What Causes Popping Noise On Knee While Walking?

Hi.

My knee has started making a popping noise when i walk up stairs. It doesn't hurt, just makes a funny noise like someone stepped on rice crispies.

I have had knee problems in the past (dislocation of the patella), but nothing like this.

Do I need to see an orthopedic specialist, or is it 'normal'?
