With the 7AT in park there's some slack that will let out once you release the foot brake and the Park gear lock takes over.

In the 6MT, chances are the little bit of movement is the parking brake taking a "set" when you let off the brake. A little bit of movement is normal but make sure you pull the brake lever up fully and leave the car in gear while parked (first gear if car is pointing up hill and reverse if pointing downhill).
I have the 6MT with SRM... It happened with the car in neutral and the engine running... I pulled in, just kind of sat there and got my stuff ready, then I noticed the movement backwards and quickly applied the brakes. The noise doesn't happen during all braking, but I was just curious if this was a regular noise...
