Does it hurt or just make noise? Sometimes mine sounds like rice krispies, but I've been assured by my doc that unless it hurts, it's just ligaments snapping across the bone and it won't cause any damage. If it hurts, STOP.
The other possibility is that if it's more of a grinding noise rather than a snapping noise, you could have a small bone spur. That would progress to painful. You need to either make a judgement call yourself, or if it bothers you enough or you're really worried, go see a shoulder doc and get a real medical opinion. Shoulders are the worst designed joint in the human body- though some would argue that knees are a close second. There's no way to really know what's going on without an xray or MRI.
