I meant most soft sounding...let's say Bulgarian sounds quite hard to my ears...

Macedonian, Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian would be more soft sounding: Macedonian: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PGo_B3_EcZs Croatian: http://youtube.com/watch?v=TZN9aoznEpg

I'm not certain about "softest", but amongst Slavic languages polyglots and linguists generally consider Serbo-Croatian to be the most beautiful. All answers are subjective though.

I've heard that Russian and Belorussian are the softest languages.

if Softness a) the highest % of palatals, then the softest are Russian and Polish b) the highest % of non-shwa vowels in words, then the softest are Slovenian, SerboCroatian and Macedonian/

There's no Macedonian language.
