The cracking sound itself comes from the release of fluid which is in between the two bones of the knuckle (mainly made of CO2, with some nitrogen) which forms into bubbles and then bursts (hence the noise).

If you do this all the time however, there is some evidence to suggest it leads to a weaker gripping ability in the long run.

So you're still better off just stopping playing for an hour and having a cup of tea instead :lol:
