Hi Bill,
If the noise is only heard when the engine is shut off, this could be normal because as the coolant cools it moves back into the recovery bottle and can cause a noise. However, you need to check and see if you have low coolant and fill it if you do.
The other major cause of this noise is an air pocket in the cooling system. If this is the issue, then you will need to bleed the system by installing a coolant bleed funnel.
Let me know if you have low coolant and if you hear the noise after you top it off.
