It sounds like a slightly blocked nose. Guinea pigs have very narrow airways, so any obstruction, however small, is always very audible.

Hopefully, it goes away on its own soon; in that case it is nothing to worry about at all. If it is still very much there by tomorrow or if the breathing is getting worse quickly, please see a vet. Especially if the appetitie is impaired and the breathing is getting crackly.
