Default Wierd noises from engine

I recently notice that the car makes clank noises, not sure how to describe the noise but it happens when I turn off the engine and just let it sit. I'm not sure if its the engine cooling down or what.
Seems like its noise that a old car would make when the engine is turned off.

Not sure if anything is wrong, the engine light isnt on or anything. Just seeing if anyone else has this or if this is something I should go get checked.

TIA

It's normal...just dissimilar metals (manifold, cat, exhaust) cooling off at different rates. I find this more common in newer cars than older cars.

Tinggg... tang... clickkk... tiktik.... Tik!
If you have been driving "spirited" it's even better



To be honest this is more a UTH question... IMO.
