Finn, Estonian and Hungaian don't sound a bit "European"

Well they do. Just define than as sounding like a language that's spoken in
Europe.
Actually, when spoken in a group I think Finnish sounds like Italian, but
without and words that I can recognise.

What, every word ends in a vowel?

Yes

I'm being serious though. I often have mistaken a group of Finns in a
restaurant for (quiet) Italians, until I could really hear the actual
words.

Very quiet Italian multiple amputees, I'd have thought.
