I assume you're talking about the sounds you hear right after you shut it off.
Normally you can hear various ticking sounds from under the hood and even under the mid section of the vehicle for a few minutes after you shut it off. These are the various components cooling off. Many materials will make this sound as their temperature is changing. The noisiest part of a vehicle when sitting hot is the exhaust system.
This, by the way, is the same phenomenon that you may hear in your house after you have just run hot water then turned it off. As the pipes cool they can tick or sometimes bang.
