When I did "before engine startup" at a pushback position, there's a strange ringing noise when you switch to the back wing views of the A350. Even after starting the engine and taking off, the ringing noise continued. But when I set my starting position to a landing or takeoff, there's no ringing noise.
Is this supposed to happen?

Perhaps you heard the APU running on the inside? I'm not super happy with the sound of that yet.
Does it sound like this electric humming (at 1:10)

I didn't think we should be hearing that even in-flight unless I'm mistaken.
I haven't done many A350 flights yet but so far it only appeared when starting at a parking position with "before engine startup". I haven't heard it when I set my starting position as a landing or takeoff. -

Ohhh thanks that fixed it!
So the A350 is the first to have APU sounds? -

In the future updates will there be apu sounds for the 787?

The sounds are nice, but increasing the pitch of buzz slightly would be appreciated as well as making the chime more audible. (+consider retexturing the flaps; they’re not detailed on iOS?)
