Knee crepitus, running, and goal of a normal BMI

Hello All:

I notice that I have crepitus, that annoying knee cracking sound, but I don’t have any knee pain. I am 38 and recently lost 59 lbs (from 225 lbs/102 kg to 166 lbs/75 kg) at 5’4” (163 cm) and mostly notice the sound when I do squats.

I wanted to know if getting to a healthy BMI will reduce the sound? I know that when I got below 190 my knees felt to much better, especially when I went up the stairs.

I currently do strength training because I have a few sets of dumbbells and you can easily do it indoors. However I wanted to start doing cardio and get my heart rate up. My friends have been talking about how much they love Nike Run Club app and I wanted to take up running and possibly work my way up to a 8k for October.

Any advice for someone who doesn’t have knee pain but notices that cracking sound when doing squats? Does getting to a normal BMI rather than just an overweight BMI help? Does running help (possibly quicker weight loss) or hurt (impact on knees)? I was planning on going to a professional running store and picking up a new pair of running shows.

Thanks in advance.
