Hello,
If you experience the thumping noise without other symptoms no treatment should be required, but if you have other symptoms you will need treatment. The treatment depends on the diagnosis. I suggest to do a knee X-ray for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
