Pain: May be the reason. An ear infection, for example, will hurt more with sucking. So will throat pain. He should be examined by his pediatrician.

Very unusual: For difficulties during breast feeding, schedule an evaluation with a lactation consultant and your pediatrician. Visualization of this behavior combined with an examination would be the best approach to solving this problem.

Your baby is trying: to tell you something. Best to take your baby in to be seen. Some babies will act fine which ,most of the time cause delay in treating an underlying illness. Your baby may have an ear infection, thrush, stuffed up that is not noticeable with noisy breathing or may have thick mucus or wheezing that you may not have appreciated. Also consult with lacatation consultant and relay what is happening.
