Tonight was my first experience in the "new" Arena. Didn't notice an appreciable difference in the volume level. Of course, when the game's exciting (as it was tonight), it'll always be loUD.
My seats are in 215, so I did notice a difference in roominess with the new seats. A bit more vertical seatback, and the padding (where before it was solid plastic) takes away a bit of legroom. And at 6'1" and 250, I tend to fill-up my seat. Also, the cup holders are a nice convenience, but there'll be several banged shins during the familiarization process.
New scoreboards are definitely a huge improvement over the old Wrigley Field-ish technology they replaced.
All in all, they're off to a good (if slightly imperfect) start.
