The German squad shared an audio clip of the fire-up on Twitter on Tuesday ahead of the car's debut on February 14.
Mercedes' W11 will make its track bow at the Silverstone circuit five days before the start of pre-season testing at Barcelona.

The W11 will be again driven by world champion Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas as the team attempts to secure its seventh consecutive championship double.
