They are using 8 gears this season, and they will have fixed ratios from the first race of the season. They are allowed to change them once throughout the year, but after they change them, they must remain the same. They have to compensate for tighter tracks like Monaco, and high speed tracks like Monza, which is why it may seem weird if they are a gear or two higher than past years.
And although the engines may sound cool/nice, I think it's just because it is something different. Looking at videos on youtube of the v12s and v10s makes me really miss that sound. That noise was F1.
