which was not "made up" but rather were quotations in Tolkiens's own synthetic languages. MOST of the languages Tolkien devised for LotR are complete enough to express relatively basic ideas in a coherant fashion. Some of the languages are nearly complete enough to function in a day-to-day fashion. While a few are fragmentary at best. However, it's not the sort of thing I would call "made up sounds". There's a lot more to it than that.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
