The sound of the engine going through the gears is amazing!

Sorry, but that's not the sound of any "through the gears" action. In fact, it sounds a lot like the old V8 engine edited into the video for effect. The new power units just don't rev that high. Your reaction, though, is good evidence for why so many fans want the old motors back. They sound(ed) awesome. The new ones = "meh" in comparsion.
It is, however, great to see the car and to see it running. The next 4 days will be very telling as it's the first of two test "weeks" prior to Australia.

I have to agree, that the sound was pretty boring in 2014-2015.
You are aware of the changes to the exhaust for 2016?

Yes.
As an owner of a turbo car who has installed an aftermarket blowoff valve, I know what the sound CAN be. However, in the case of these cars the turbo is *electric* in order to keep the turbo spooled up at all times so as to eliminate lag. So, just what sounds they expect to generate (especially LOUD sounds that will win back those of us raised on tuned-exhaust, 3-liter, flat-12 Ferrari motors and super-high-revving V10s) is a mystery to me. I'll do my best to keep an open mind (although why I should after the past few years of complete idiocy and gross selfishness escapes me) but I have my doubts.

Here is a YouTube video from Mercedes F1 taken Friday at Silverstone. It's a "fly-by" so you can hear exactly what the 2016 Merc will sound like at near full song on the track. The Ferrari power unit (used in the Haas F1 car) will sound almost identical. Note that it does not sound like the audio on that Haas video.

I noticed they named the chassis VF-16.
Interesting trivia:
The Haas vertical CNC machines started with the VF1 in 1988. I always wondered what the VF1 stood for. I first met Gene in 1996 and had an opportunity to ask him.
His reply: Very First One.

More info from first day of testing:
Romain Grosjean says the Haas VF-16 will be fully up to speed tomorrow despite suffering a dramatic front wing failure on the first morning of the team's F1 debut in Spain.
The French driver became a passenger in Haas's first F1 car after it lost its front wing on the pit straight at Circuit de Catalunya and despite forefitting a lengthy chunk of time to understand the fault Grosjean says it was a positive day for the team.
The former Lotus driver was able to get back out on track for the final 90 minutes of the test, albeit running at limited speeds, and is confident Haas understands the cause of the front wing break and will have a solution by tomorrow morning.
“We had a small issue with the wing which took up some time but we have fixed it for tomorrow which is good and we understood what the problem was and generally the car felt good,” Grosjean said. “It is a small team but we have big resources and we have understood the problem very quickly. It was clear to everyone and it shouldn't be too hard to fix it.
“The fix is coming tomorrow and 99% chance we have fixed the problem which is good. There have been little things but everyone is on it and they are there whenever we need it.”
Grosjean says the team wasn't hunting lap times or set-up and was purely seeking mileage for the all-new VF-16 and even though it completed the least amount of laps of any team – 31 timed laps – he left the track feeling upbeat with the progress made.
“The way we are able to go out to be able to do laps without any big problems with the car and driving it is good,” he said. “No leaks, no problems, no failures, no electric cuts. We will have more problems that is a fact as it is such a complicated technology. There is a lot of interaction between the parts but generally we are very happy with where we are.”
