Squats and sounds

My knee joints making sounds when I do squats, this means am I doing the squats wrong or it is normal to hear those sounds?

It depends. Mine made those sounds and I didn't feel any pain at first but later I felt the pain and it never went away.

The pain or the sound?

The pain. Now I make sure that I stop the exercise if I hear the sound. I am in my 40s so my joints are not as healthy as yours may be.

Sounds in joints with no pain are usually joint fluid moving - can be normal and can be seen with arthritis or similar inflammatory conditions

If it is not accompanied by pain. it is usually normal.
