Sort of like onomatopoeia, where the word sounds like that which it describes, but where saying the word makes one feel like that which it describes.
Sorry for the terrible explanation.
EDIT: This came up during a conversation with a friend who described something as 'scuzzy'. Saying scuzzy makes me feel scuzzy and here we are...

I can think of words where the circumstances or manner in which they're said could make you feel like their meaning - shouting "EMBARRASSED!" in a quiet theatre would do it, or certain profanities said in polite company. Is that what you mean? I can't think of any examples where a word will always have that effect, wherever it is said.

Ideophone
'A vivid representation of an idea in sound. A word, often
onomatopoeic, which describes a predicate, qualificative or adverb in
respect to manner, color, sound, smell, action, state or intensity.’
Ideophones evoke sensory events.
Example: twinkle : the glow of something sparkling or shiny.
We say, her eyes twinkled merrily or we say wow! and our mere saying it makes us express admiration or surprise.

This is subjective, but I submit the word "Cacophonous", which describes anything that involves or produces a harsh or discordant mixture of sounds.
EDIT: It seems like you were looking for something more general. Per one of the other posts, "cacophony" is but one example of "ideophone".

I can think of words where the circumstances or manner in which they're said could make you feel like their meaning - shouting "EMBARRASSED!" in a quiet theatre would do it, or certain profanities said in polite company. Is that what you mean? I can't think of any examples where a word will always have that effect, wherever it is said.
