Okay what am I hearing after the car is off?

But what is the hissing/whinning?

After shutting off the engine, the whinning noise in the engine bay is the coolant circulating to cool down the turbo.

Your hearing the fans cooling the motor off and water being sent around the turbo to help cool it off. Cause if you were to shut the car with no cooling of the turbo you have a chance of screwing it up.

I like all the sounds. It sounds like it's winding down from a nice ride.
