If I have my driver door open as the engine is running (I have the door open to better hear the engine bay), when I push the start/stop button to shut the car off, I hear a quick rattle/knock-like noise as the motor winds down to a rest. The noise seems to be coming from the motor or somewhere in the engine bay. Anyone else notice this? I know the VQ37 isn't the quietest of motors, but just wanted to know if this was normal.
