I don't know how it would sound, but Valarin is described as sounding like the glitter of swords.
I think all of the elves shuddered at the Black Speech in Rivendell just because it was the Black Speech. Not only does it sound scary, but it represents the evil in the world that they fear. Heck, when I heard Gandalf talk in it in the movie, I shuddered myself. Ardalambion has an interesting section on the Black Speech that I think answers most of the questions asked.
