Hebrew sounds like someone collecting phlegm for a giant loogie.
It's beyond annoying, it's horrible.
You sure can hear that the language has been virtually dead for a thousand years, before being revived, because it has mutated into a very artificial sounding frankenstein language.

Danish sounds pretty weird. They convert most of the consonants into drawn-out vocals, and drag all the sounds out of their stomachs. I'm Norwegian and can read Danish perfectly since our languages are very similar on paper, but if I listen to a Dane, all I hear is guttural nonsense like geeeidebooudeiæææigemuuuutheloooouwe. I have no idea how they can talk together at all.
Norwegian on the other hand, sounds like an ever accelerating string of optimistic questions.
I don't find it annoying because I love the country and have lots of pleasant memories from vacations there. But an exited Norwegian is always sure to bring smile to your face.
Listening to sports commentators when Norway is on a winning streak is just priceless.
When it comes to written Norwegian it's very close to Danish, closer even than Swedish.
I can read a Norwegian text without even realizing it until after a couple of lines.
French I find quite annoying, not so much that it's extremely ugly, but more that it sounds pretty gay and cocksure of itself, arrogant even.
It isn't anything near as versatile as for example German with regards to expressing different emotional states.
let me guess.. you're from spain? have you actually heard other spanish being spoken, or are you just generalizing? spaniards tend to be really snooty about their spanish.
