If this test is to allow the user to determine sound quality (or to check for errors) I would agree that a short musical sound would work better than one with just voices. You also will eliminate any need for multiple sounds based on language.
The default KDE startup sound comes to mind as a possible choice. I believe that Gnome also has a short test sound that is a guitar being strummed. Either would work well. Or if you would like, I would be happy to record something for this purpose.

Sure, something less than 10 seconds that would sound bad if played wrong would be great.
