One of my rats just started making some odd noises tonight, Its the first time i've heard her make them and it went on for about an hour maybe? It stopped about 10 minutes ago now. But its really scared me. I took a video of her making the noises so you guys can hear and identify what shes doing!

Any help is super appreciated!​
 
Have you had her a long time or is she new? How old is she?
If she's new and it's mild & periodic you could wait a day or 2 see if it stops, even stress can cause that in a kid. If it continues you could try some allergy medicine. Just hold her chest up to your ear periodically listening for noise while you figure out what's going on.. Older kids often come to need respiratory antibiotics.
 
I dont like any noises from a rat.

If it is dry in there you could try a humidifier, I have two girls that do that when it gets to dry in here. Watch her though she may have something brewing in there that would need meds. If she just woke up though, I would debate on changing the type of bedding she is in and use a humidifier for her.
