Ball joints

Does anybody know if ball joints will make any noise when they get wore out?
I know how to check to see if they are wore out, just seeing if anybody knows if there is any noise associated with it.

sometimes you will get a clunking sound when you turn the wheels.

OK thanks.
I have a popping noise every once in awhile on my drivers side, it does it more when I'm backing and turning the wheel at the same time.

Then it will do it when i hit bumps, both lower joints have flex in them when i checked them.
