Hello I have found in my old notebook this: "bitcoin armory wallet and password", is there anything I can do to check if I have any BTC in there?

Does it contain a bitcoin address or addresses? It should be about 30 characters  (commonly 33-34) that starts with '1', if not, '3'.
If there is, paste that to an online blockexplorer (eg.: https://blockchair.com/) to see if the address has any balance.

But to spend that, you need to find either the Armory wallet file(s) or a paper backup associated to that address, then install the latest Armory with Bitcoin Core and and let it sync.

Hello I have found in my old notebook this: "bitcoin armory wallet and password", is there anything I can do to check if I have any BTC in there?
If the notes you have for "bitcoin armory wallet" looks something like this:
Code:
abcd abcd abcd abcd   abcd abcd abcd abcd   abcd
abcd abcd abcd abcd   abcd abcd abcd abcd   abcd

That is to say, it should be two rows of 9 groups of 4 characters... then it is likely an Armory wallet "root key"... the "password" may have been the wallet file encryption password (not necessary if you have the root key as you can simply set a new password when you restore the wallet) or it might have been a "Secure Print" code used to encrypt the "root key".

If you have the "root key", then you can simply install the latest Armory from here: https://btcarmory.com/ and then restore your wallet using the "root key". It won't show any bitcoins until you also install and fully Bitcoin Core, but you will be able to see your bitcoin addresses and could check them on a blockexplorer... or alternatively you could export your private keys and import them into a different wallet like Electrum to check balances/transaction history etc.

For private key export, refer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691

It is unclear if by "notebook" you mean a pad of paper or a small computer. 

If it is a computer and it has files that look like armory_XXxxXXXxx_.wallet then you are good.

If it is paper then you need the two lines of 4 character groups like HCP said above.

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.
