Knuckles click due to the presence of gas bubbles in the synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. When you stretch or pull your fingers, the pressure in the joint decreases, allowing these bubbles to rapidly form and collapse, producing the clicking sound. This phenomenon is known as cavitation. While often harmless, frequent clicking can sometimes indicate underlying joint issues if accompanied by pain.
