A mixed bag so far, but overall I like them. It's a different sound, certainly, whereas the V8 was just a poor man's V10 (listen to clips of the V10 on YouTube and then the V8 back-to-back and you'll probably agree).
At one point during the race, I found the whistling annoying or at least debated with myself if it was annoying.
Hearing the tyres squeak when locking up was a welcome addition. Even hearing the track tannoy sounded cool. (I suspect the people at the circuit also found hearing it useful; I imagine it's easier to hear it now).
As a side note, I like how the different engines sound different: the Ferrari sounds very different from the Mercedes for instance.
I just hope that trackside, it still has that power to wow. I'm taking my girlfriend to her first Grand Prix this year and I want it to be shocking in some way.
