Examples of acute injuries that may cause a snap, pop, or grating sound or feeling include: 1  A broken hip (hip fracture) or pelvis (pelvic fracture), such as an avulsion fracture. 2  A dislocated hip or sprained hip. 3  Muscle strain in the groin or buttock.
Snapping hip syndrome is a condition that is characterized by a snapping sensation, and often an audible 'popping' noise, when the hip is flexed and extended. There are several causes for snapping hip syndrome, most commonly due to tendons catching on a bony prominence and snapping when the hip is moved. Many people with snapping hip syndrome feel as though the ball of their ball-and-socket hip joint is coming out of position, a so-called hip subluxation.
