Strange Noise

Hi,

I just bought a 2019 Fiesta 1.0l Ecoboost ST-Line with power stop/start.  This is my first experience with this after having driven a 2007 Fiesta Climate from new, so still getting used to the various new "toys".

Anyway the thing is, after having driven, when i press the power button to switch the engine off, I immediately get a strange noise, almost like the sound of air being released from a balloon, slightly vulgar 'phrap' if you know what I mean 🤪

Realise the description is rather odd, but so is the noise!

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

    Seriously though, it's probably the climate control flap closing the air intake to prevent the interior getting damp overnight.
