It's just contraction. The metal continues to cool and makes cracking sounds. Can happen long after use, especially if there is still water in the kettle.

<<>>

Kettles use a thermo bi-metal switch to shut the kettle off once it has boiled. This switch will not reset while the kettle is hot. Once the kettle has cooled down to a reasonabletemperature the switch will reset itself and be ready to for the next heating cycle. The click you are hearing is the switch resetting itself.
