I have also read that Valarin sounded harsh to the ears of the Elves, just because it contained a lot of "zh" sounds and others similar to that. Think of a harsher-sounding version of Khuzdul. As for Sauron taking elements from Valarin, I wouldn't put it past him. I remember reading somewhere that Sauron could not create, he could only corrupt. So it would make sense that he would take bits of other languages and corrupt them into something that all "good people" would instantly shudder at.
