Obviously lots of accents/dialects based on location like American southern, Australian or Jamaican. Anything like that is an acceptable answer. As well as non native english speaker's spoken english sound, like a Latino/a person.

Within the US, west coast Asian American accents. I can’t explain it, but second generation Asian Americans have this very clear and neutral diction that is very easy to understand by anyone.

Outside of the US, probably Irish and Afrikaans.
