The noise can be an indicator of an oncoming respiratory infection. Most vets don't know much about tortoises or their care.

The cure for this is to bump up the heat all around. What are your four temperatures? Warm side, cool side, basking area, and overnight low? What heating and lighting equipment are you using?

Here is the current and correct care info for your species. This will tell you what, if anything, needs fixing: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-best-way-to-raise-any-temperate-species-of-tortoise.183131/

Show us some pics of your tortoise and enclosure, and we will usually have helpful suggestions.

Thanks for all that info, I’ll definitely be making a few changes after reading. I can’t upload photos, have to wait for my granddaughter to help.
