The reason for the crackling noise when you take your clothes off on a dry day is that static electricity can be built-up from the clothes rubbing together, for example wool builds up a lot of static electricity.

Why in winters woolen clothes make crackling sound. Explain?

The crackling sound you hear when wearing woolen clothes in winter is due to the build-up of static electricity. As you move, the friction between the wool and your other clothing or skin creates an imbalance of electrons, leading to a discharge of static electricity, which produces the crackling sound. This phenomenon is more common in dry winter weather when the air is less humid.
