You see many people do it. You know they turn their head quickly to “crack it”. There is always someone somewhere plaing amatuer Chiropractor, and “lifting” someone up to “crack their back” Again; What is it that makes the cacking sound, in the neck and back, when we do it, or have someone do it for us. Another example is when you firmly planted feet, and swing your body left to right, to “crack” your back. I know when I do some yoga like streching, I roll on my back and that also makes “little cracking sounds” in my spine, that I could only hear internally. Another question will ask about any heath benefits, dangers, etc. This question just asks what is it that causes the “cracking” sound to happen?
i think it has to do with air in between the joints

ur bones sliding into different positions, when ur muscles push onto them!

2 possibilites – it could actually be vertebrae moving very slightly, or could be bubbles of gas that build up in the joints between vertebrae as we move. This second one is the same as the sound when you crack your knuckles.

same as when you crack your knuckles, there is a fluid that fills your joints and when your joints expand / contract the fluid is pushed into / forced out of the space created by the movement.
