Car creaks and ticks after turning if off because the metals underneath(Chassis body)expands and contracts bcoz of the heat accumulated when running a car.Turning it off would slowly cool the engine and that's where the expansion/contraction occurs producing those sounds. Especially manifested by older vehicles.

The engine has a crankshaft that is connected to all the pistons in the engine. When the engine is running the pistons are moving up and down and are turning this crankshaft. The crankshaft in turn is spinning a shaft connected to the transmission. The transmission is turning a driveshaft that is connected to the differential which in turn is turning an axle connected to the wheels.

Why would a car tick for a few days then just stop?
That depends on what is ticking, and why. Generally, a minor engine tick that suddenly goes away was caused by a clog in the oil pathways inside the engine that cleared up suddenly. If the engine generally ticks until the engine is warmed up, this suggests a clog in the engine's internal oil pathways that stays there, but as the oil warms and thins it's able to squeeze through enough to stop the engine from ticking.
