I daresay 'sounds nice' is determined individually, and culture has almost nothing to do with it. Certainly your lámatyávë is to an extent shaped by your native language, but that doesn't make it dependent on cultural conventions or whatnot. Personally, I find French pretty interesting linguistically and its historical grammar fascinating, but aesthetically it's nowhere near being a nice-sounding language. In my opinion, of course.
