Ankle problems while exercising

Hi,
I have just begun using the elliptical machine. When I use it my left ankle pops constantly. It doesn’t hurt, but just pops. I was on the machine 20 minutes last night, and it popped literally hundreds of times. I really want to use the elliptical machine, but what do I do about this ankle problem? Would a brace or wrap help? thank you.

    This is likely a tendon snapping over a bony prominence. If you want, try an ankle brace. I don’t usually get upset about popping without pain/
