is this normal??

Im worried about my mouse, her name is nikki Jr and I've had her for about 3 months. I really love to hug my mice and listen to them just to make sure they are okay and yesterday I noticed that when I put her next to my ear I hear some kind of squeaking voice when she breathes but I cant hear it even if I'm next to the cage without any background noise, I'm worried if it's URI or not. I noticed it after I was changing her bedding, unfortunately she was in the cage while I was scooping out the bedding because I'm away from home and I didnt have stuff I needed to properly change it which is wrong on my part and I'll never make the same mistake again, I just want to know if its common or not since I'm a first time owner. Also I want to say that I'm not financially well now and I can't take her to the vet 😢.

Edit: I can only hear that voice if she's next to my ear or really close, you can't hear it in a video, i tried taking it but nothing. I also compared it to some videos of mice with URI and the sound is not like that. She's pretty active and eats normally as well.
