FS small motor running sound for a few minutes after shutting off car. Normal?

I've had my FS for just over 2 weeks and finally made enough room to fit it in garage a few days ago. When I arrive and turn off engine, I can hear some small motor or pump or fan in front engine area running, but only with garage door closed and completely silent because it is very low volume sound. I haven't timed it, but I would guess it stops about 2-3 minutes after I turn off car.

Is this normal?

I thought it might be just a fan or something normal, but the OTHER FS I almost bought and had dealer check out had a leak in vacuum system they said was making vacuum pump run nonstop and would eventually be a few thousand dollar repair. Hopefully this is not the same issue, but would like to get some input. Thanks for any help!

CGT does the same thing after shut down for about 10 seconds or so. Believe it is normal air suspension cycling after shut down of the car.

My 2006 CGT always made a loud fan noise for several minutes after turnoff. I assumed it was a cooling fan.

My GTC has a fan noise after shutdown and some small motor noise on start up and will continue for a mile or so, I expect all is normal. I recall the cars of old, 1960's, that had one motor to make the car go. All these new cars have all kinds on motors.

My Flying spur has similar sound. Was told by Tech at dealership that this is the suspension auto leveling. He said it does this periodically on its own when parked and locked. Apparently the car like to be completely level at all times..
