Making noises, snorting perhaps, while grooming self?

I recently adopted a female rabbit for my male rabbit and they are in love :)

However I have been spending time with them and noticed when she is grooming herself, she makes a sort of snorting sniffing sound quite loudly? Only when she has been grooming herself for a few minutes, other than that she's pretty silent? Lol

Is this normal as my other rabbit doesn't do this?
 
It may be normal for her but I would keep an eye on it. Doughnut made snorting noises when eating when she started a respiratory infection. Has she always done this or could you find out from the rescue. If it's new I would get her checked out by your vet
 
I could contact the rescue and ask good idea! I've checked her nose and front paws throughout the day and can't see any signs of any discharge so will also kee an eye :)
 
Doughnut didn't have any discharge either. I probably caught it early. She just sounded like a little piglet eating!
