    It is not uncommon for them to make huffing, sniffing or similar noises when being held. They can also make these noises for a wide variety of reasons - clogged nares, obstructed nares, etc.

    If you aren't seeing discharge or any other symptoms, keep an eye on him and see if it stays the same or gets worse. If the symptoms become more serious, take him to a vet.
