Why does the Vietnamese language sound like you are dropping cutlery on a stone floor?

Ugh. I haven’t used Vietnamese for so long that I’m to the point where I can understand Vietnamese, but I can’t speak it.
Yeah, it does. It doesn’t sound awesome cool like Japanese words. You never hear anything in America named with a Vietnamese word.
It really depends on who’s speaking it. People from the lower classes whose lives mostly revolve around business at the marketplace or farming really have a hard time grasping the concept of "indoor voices." They scream into their cell phones, and yes, it is very ghettoooooo
If you hear people from upper classes talk, especially people from the old pre-communist Northern Vietnam, it will have a softer and more respectable tone but perhaps still not as mellifluous as Chinese or Korean.
