Strange Noises in Both Gel Breast Implants?

Hi, I have had gel breast implants for 8 years with no prior problems. I had an MRI less than a year ago and all was clear. However I have been travelling for nearly a year now and have recently been going up and down alot with altitude and small flights. Today as I was lying down I noticed my breasts are making strange noises when the implants move or when I compress my breasts. There is no pain and they do not appear to have changed in size or shape. Should I be worried?
