I really have to agree on this one. The sounds seem very muffled to me. Listening to videos of Merlins and similar engins it seems to me that the open exhausts emit a very sharp almost a gunshot sound on each firing stroke. As these individual sounds merge together as the engine revs increase they produce a sort of rhythm and combine with the increasing and complex noise generated by the prop to produce the characteristic growl of a big V12 aero engine. The only time the game comes close is when the engine is throttled back during landing etc.
