Is my kitten's popping noise when sleeping or eating normal?

Question

Hello, my 9 week old kitten sometimes makes popping noises like when human nose unblocks it's usually when he's falling asleep in a sitting position, or lickes his mouth after eating it's not often apart from that he is very active and playful not other symptoms I have been at the vets a week ago for vaccination they said the kitten is healthy so just wondering if that's something I should be worried about ? Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 6 days old | 7 lbs

Given that this sound only occasionally occurs when Marley falls asleep in a sitting position or licking his mouth after eating, and the fact the vet said he was healthy, I wouldn't be too concerned about this behavior. If the sound increases, or he starts doing it regularly, then I would have him checked out by a vet :-)
