Mi'qote female voice 5 is notorious for that. It doesn't sound that bad at the character creation screen, but once you're in-game and in-combat on a melee job, you realize it causes your character to make a high-pitched "HA!" every time you use a GCD attack. It gets old remarkably quickly. To be honest, the existing emote options are a bit odd for the character select, since you sooooo rarely actually hear your character voice anything emote (since few emotes actually have voice effects). The combat effects are the ones you're most likely to encounter, but the ones you cannot preview at character select.
