: I would like to know why I can hear some sound
: when I screw the crown..BUT JUST
: SOMETIMES....When I screw it about 2-3
: turns...I can hear some sound....but
: SOMETIMES I can't hear anything..I'm so
: worry about that is my watch need to
: repair??????

No repair shoud be neccessary. It's an automatic, I assume. If so,this is normal.

You're only hearing it when it's fully wound, right?

What you're hearing is the watch mechanism preventing the mainspring from being overwound. When you tighten the crown, it's still in position 1, which continues to wind the spring as you rotate it, regardless of if you're screwing it in or not.

You've got nothing to worry about.
