Joint clicking

I have been going to the gym much more frequently recently and I have noticed that my joints seem to be clicking more than often. Is this because I am getting older or because of the gym?

When I started going to the gym about 2 years ago my knee started to click. The Doc sent me for an xray but nothing showed up so its possibly cartlidge damage. He said if it doesnt hurt ignore it.

I have similar problems with the vertabrae in my neck. It has turned out to be cartilage damage which is not likely to show up on an xray.

Just a layman's advise but I do speak from experience.
