You need to provide a few more clues to what you are experiencing.

1. Is the sound a cracking or a buzzing?

2. Does it only happen when you fret a note?

3. Does it happen when every string is fretted or just one string?

4. Doe the sound occur when you pluck an un-fretted string?

This information will help others to help you

Hi,is more when use fret as note and have to apply lot of pressure again the neck to avoid this cracking sound,im verified the space between the string and fret when apply pressure to the next fret is about .005 closer.

Can you find a helper to put a little pressure on various joints and parts while you strum to make the sound?  They could start with the bridge if you think it is there, and if not keep moving around to find it.

What are you using for the bridge and nut? Check for loose nut or bridge, check for cracks in neck or top and check where the stings attach.

If either of those are moving when fretting a string, that might cause the noise your talking about. put a little glue on the base of the nut and bridge to be sure they don't move. Check the domino for cracks.

I don't see any cracks in the top. Let's see a pic of the strings attaching to the CBG behind the bridge.

Could it be the winding of a string clicking against something rough as the string gets tighter. These windings are extremely small and it could be these moving as the string stretches.

Could be the strings going across the edge of the top.
