whistling noise when engine switched off

Hi

I have 2012 MY sx , brilliant in all respects , but one question. When I stop the engine there is a whisling/buzzing noise from the engine bay for a few minutes . It seems to be from around the radiator fan assembly, Im wondering if its to warn that the fan is still (potentialy) active . Any one any ideas?

Nick

Thanks for all the answers sounds like its normal so no worries. I did search but stupidly put in whistling as the search word! So got plenty on the turbo problems Rolling Eyes
