Meaning of Phonetics

[Belianine Valeri]

Zdavstvyjte, Seelangers
In Russian psycholinguistics there is such a theory that every letter (and sound) has its meaning. For example, there are pleasant and unpleasant sounds (for Russian ear). Thus according to some investigations, ZH is unpleasant while L soft is pleasant (mild). And all the vowels may have some kind of colour. E.g. a (as in cup) is red, i (like in film) is blue, etc. Some programms (like VAAL) use it for text analysis.
If anyone knows some investigations on the English material, please
