Strange grunting sound (Newish rabbit owner)

I've heard of the snuffles and a cold and such but I'm not entirely sure what it is at the moment. My girl Queenie is bonded for some time, spayed for some time, she sounds like shes got something on her chest, I took a look at her nose and theres no discharge/not wet at all but listening to her chest and nose theres a definite grunting sound coming from both upper and lower respitory. Shes not off her food or showing any signs of distress over this. Can this be the start of something? Shes in full contact with her partner too although he's not displaying these symptoms. I don't want to cart her off to the vets over something minor if it is minor, causing her stress. Any ideas? (Of course I will get her vetinary treatment regardless) I do know she appears to snore (if rabbits can?) when sleeping it sounds similar to that but on a lower note.

Any ideas guys?
 
She needs to be fully examined by a Vet, ie her lungs listened to with a stethoscope. I would not delay in arranging this.
