Vocalization such as squeaking, chriping etc is very normal in birds, and can be considered a sign that they're content. Parakeets may even try to talk to you if you talk to them enough! Unless you are seeing signs of illness such as ruffled feathers, rapid or labored breathing, not eating or drinking, listless behavior, or appearing in distress/pain, I wouldn't worry.
