I have sinus problems and when they get really bad I hear a very slight 'chirping' noise. Maybe a humidifier would help since its winter and dry heat aggravates things like this. If you are concerned it has something to do with his cancer then try taking him to one of his specialists like the ENT. Hope he feels better soon.
