Should you be able to hear your rabbit breathe?

I was just cuddling Amber and I could hear her breathing if that makes sense. She doesn't have a rustly chest or anything just noticed her breathing was louder? She has been binkying round the garden today and is eating, pooing and drinking fine just not something I have come across before.
 
In general no, breath sounds should not be audible. However, Rabbits with a past history of RTIs or Dental problems can occasionally have noisier breathing.

Certainly worth a Vet check I think xx
 
i can hear Lester breathing, hes had a full check at the vets and they said hes ok, hes always been the same since i got him.
