It might sound harsh due to its strong consonant sounds, but it's not inherently violent.

Arabic has consonants ق ع غ ض ض ظ which originate deeper in the throat or require greater tongue stress than many other languages, so to some people, these sound a little harsh.

Arabic might sound "harsh" or "violent" to unfamiliar ears due to its strong, throaty sounds — like ق (qaf) and خ (khaa) — and emphatic consonants. However, this is just a phonetic feature, not a reflection of the language's nature. In reality, Arabic is rich in poetic, soft, and expressive phrases.
