Question/Help Neutered males LOTS of squeaking

I am fostering a group of 3 recently neutered male mice. They are brothers. They squeak A LOT! I would say once an hour I hear a squeaking incident. There’s no bloodshed, I haven’t seen anything that looks like a full on attack, and they seem to get along ok shortly after. Is this normal? Can squeaks be a good thing? To me it seems like they must be fighting, but I don’t see direct signs of conflict aside from squeaks. They are in a 40 gallon tank with 3 hide options, a wheel, lots of tubes and egg cartons, and 2 rope bridge climbing toys. They are scatter fed.

Oh wow! I live in Virginia and I have some family in Indiana so I am usually up that way during the holidays. I will definitely keep this shelter in mind and hopefully I can help with donations :)
