Is it normal that my neck sounds like a ball bearing when I turn it?

I'm 34, and never had any major back or neck injuries. I've noticed over the last 10-15 years that when I turn my head back and forth, I can hear what sounds like a bearing in my neck. I assume it's the bones grinding or something, but I'd never really thought about it.
There's no pain, no inflammation, just an odd sound, like a bearing in a track.

A well lubricated ball bearing shouldn't make any sounds.

Sounds like COVID. Shut it down.

Probably a sign that you’re a Cylon.

Yeah dude. Totally normal. We're all walking around with our neck bones grinding every time we move our heads.

You will need to prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and you’re gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone.
No, no make that Quaker State.

I know this will sound crazy.
...BUT....I highly recommend you see a doctor for medical advice.
Not that I question the medical advice doled out by these 16 year old, man bun wearing, basement dwelling poofs...

I mentioned it to my (now former) GP, and her response was 'huh, weird'. And that was it.

My knees pop like bubble wrap and my lower back sounds like rice krispie treats in the morning.
I've never sounded like a ball bearing though. That's a new one.

You've come to the right place.

Try funneling a quart or two of 10w30 into your ear. Should relubricate and solve your problem.

Maybe he needs a refresher course.

Very normal. You can buy a book called Pain Free by Pete Egoscue. It has some exercises that could help.

Sounds like it's time for a ring dinger.

I have the same thing it's weird but not painful at all.
Facet Joint Syndrome
This is arthritis of the neck or lower back. If you turn your head and neck and hear the cricking and cracking, that is your facet joint

This issue sounds more like power steering fluid, but luckily you can mix them to cover all of the bases

You must have a leaky gasket. Heard you can order new ones from the J.C. Whitney catalogue.

It does remind me of a loose rack and pinion. I've called 2 local mechanics already and they've agreed to take a look at it.
