I think Vietnamese sounds cool, but not as cool as Thai or Mandarin, those are my favorite tonal languages. Most people hate the sound of Vietnamese, so you're not alone.
Mandarin is my least favorite language, simply for the phonemics. It
can sound nice when spoken softly, but mostly I find it very harsh and unpleasant. I'm not a big fan of the sounds of Southeast Asian languages, either, though I still find them interesting and once started to learn a little Vietnamese (I'd been considering moving there for a little while). I enjoyed it. I'd love to learn a Southeast Asian language.
