The breathing is like a rhythm, parallel to the beating of the heart, and of course Dave does not have one. In the film, there is a gradual escalation, but we know it will somehow reach a conclusion. The sound makes the whole experience very tense and the imagery dense. The words Dave utters are like the entries from a databank. Not unlike a search engine... yes i agree, such deliberate use of sound is a great way of adding another narrative.
