Never heard that before. The fan does keep going for around 5 minutes after you turn the car off though.

They are the inflatable side bolsters. They release when you turn off the car so that you can leave your seat easier and return to its original inflated position when you start the car. Sounds like farting noises from the friction between the bladder and leather. Had to explain it a few times to people that I didn't fart.

There is a sound like air brakes releasing on a truck that occurs whenever I turn the car off and maybe a second or two after I open the drivers door. I'm not sure if that's the same sound you're referring to or not. I should YouTube it.

I describe it that way because for the longest time I just assumed a truck was nearby when I parked the car. It was only recently when I realized it was my car that was making the noise.

Ok I just noticed it when I used the Remote app on my iPhone to send a 'honk horn' command to the car.

Salacious Britsh slang no doubt, but I think I can guess the meaning.

This sound started yesterday. Wife asked, "was that you?" not a big fan of this.
