That huge leap in torque is a gonna be awesome. This is a product no one is twisting your arm to buy it. Stop with the winning and if you find a better car for you than buy that one. You can't please everyone but this is a huge leap in the right direction the way i see it.
Yet Mercedes AMG can make a TT V8 sound great. Far better than the S63tu.
And if we talk about TT inline 6 engines, the Supra with the 2jz-GTE and the GT-R with the RB26 both with stock exhaust sound better (to my ears) than S55.

And with Mercedes introducting Inline 6 engines again, we may see how theirs stands up aurally to the S55 and the B58.

I don't think it's whining, it's a legitimate complaint. Many who have tested the car have said the same thing consistently. That should tell you something.
