I've never particularly cared what mine sounded like (except for being hurt when my ex made fun of them), and I've never paid any attention to anyone else's (except one time when the girl next to me started speaking in french(?) and I found my trying to pick out words).
I was just curious when I noticed mine change abruptly in the middle of praying and wondered if this was common. As the only tongues-speakers that I know are here on the forum I introduced this topic. For the record, I don't think anyone implied that what they sounded like was the point.
