13 plate ford focus - noises

Hello

When I turn the ignition off there is a noise from under the bonnet (I think) that sounds similar to the central locking operating. Also when I am walking away from the car and a few seconds after locking it there is a similar but louder noise. What might the noises be?

    Not got a Ford but my Vauxhall also does it. In my case it is the aircon/heater that allows you to use it stationary for a couple of minutes.

    Heater flaps closing, Solenoids and valves shutting down.

    Some cars the cooling/aircon fan will run on after shutting the engine off.
