heavy breather

Loud lung user

A heavy breather is someone whose breathing is audible and labored, whether from exertion, illness, or sexual arousal.

The term most often refers to someone who makes obscene phone calls characterized by audible breathing, typically for sexual gratification.

The police traced the heavy breather who had been calling her for weeks.

More innocuously, it can describe anyone who breathes loudly, such as someone with respiratory problems or a person sleeping nearby.
