What is wrong if your car was running and shut off with a noise?

There are some unknowns here. 1. Did you shut it off and it made a noise, OR 2. Did the car stop running suddenly, making a noise? If you shut the car off, some quiet noises are normal. You may hear the fuel pump from the rear of the car for a couple seconds, and you may hear a solenoid under the hood for a second or two, or the electric radiator fan after the car is shut off. The other question is what kind of noise was it? A loud bang? A whoosh noise, a scrape noise? Did the engine seem to try and keep running? Please add more detail and I'll try to help.
