I have gone through your query thoroughly. I will provide you with my best possible advice. As your signs and symptoms is suggesting you might be suffering from Temporomandibular disorder(TMD). The sound you are hearing is the clicking sound. It can be due to several reasons in which "injury" is the most common, other causes may be clenching the teeth over a period of time, dislocation of articular disc of the joint, disturbed occlusion of teeth, arthritis or even stress can create such problem. It is important to diagnose the exact cause of the problem, so I must recommend you to get an appointment with the dentist so that compete clinical and radiological examination can be done, and specific treatment is initiated.Meanwhile, I am advising few things till you get appointment with the dentist to which will provide you symptomatic relief to an extent.  - Avoidance of muscle strain (i.e. gum chewing, clenching) - Avoidance of events that can trigger pain or discomfort.  - Apply an ice pack to the side of your face and temple area for about 10 minutes. After 10-15 min apply a warm towel or washcloth to the side of your face for about 5 minutes. Perform this routine a few times(4-5) each day.  - You can take over the counter painkiller like Ibuprofen thrice daily for 3-4 days.  - Yoga/meditation/other activities is advised to reduce any type of mental stress. Hope this will help you there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are welcome to ask me any time. Take Disregards </s>
