Hi there!

It is perfectly normal to hear the grinding of joints sometimes during the day. This is largely caused due to partial blockade of external sound in quiet surroundings or the blockade of sound from outer ear, when the inner sounds become more prominent. If there are no other symptoms associated, this should not be anything to worry about.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
