"Creaking" noise after shutdown

Has anyone else noticed a "creaking" noise coming from the back and under the vehicle after they turn off the X5? I'm thinking it is probably the exhaust cooling down or a purge valve for the gas tank, but not sure. Figured I'd ask and confirm here.

I have not heard creaking but have often heard the "dinging" of the metal cooling, assumed it was the exhaust.

Thanks Turtleboy. "Dinging" is probably a more accurate description as it is a metallic like sound.

I hear the fan running pretty loudly for a while. Especially on a hot day
