Without looking at her, not really any way to know. Sometimes they just make noise, other times it could be a respiratory infection. If it is an RI, your best bet for now is to LOWER the humidity to less than 50% if possible and RAISE the temp to at least 95F. Althought the lower temp is not ideal normally, it will definitely help with an RI.

If she recently shed she could have some shed in and around her nostrils which could make that wheezing sound.
