I can't really describe the sound in terms of anything else just yet. Practice 1 was spent at turn 11 with a lot of braking and light throttle. I could hear a definite turbine type sound which was prob the ers. They sounded quite rough on the overrun but not necessarily bad. For p2 I'm at turn 10 as I'm on the acceleration portion I can hardly hear the cars on braking, they are that quiet. On acceleration though they still sound great in my opinion, not to the level of the v8's but it's awesome hearing the turbo spooling.
As an aside the rb7 used in the speed challenge was as loud and awesome as always.
The 2014 cars are being faster already. Can't wait to see them in anger on race day.

Edit. What's also very interesting is seeing the tails getting a wiggle on accelerating out of low speed corners. That is def new for this year at this track. Wonder what effect that will have over race distance. Exciting that's for sure. Plenty of wooo's from the crowd.
