Hi all
I have tried to search for the sound my engine makes but couldn't find anything that matched, so apologies if this has been discussed before.
When I turn my engine off it has started to make a few noises round the air box, a few different suction noises.
I cannot remember this happening until recently.
My car is at RBM next week and wondered if anyone would know what it could be from experience, so I can pre plan for any work to be done.
Here is a link to a video of what is happening.

Thanks for reading

Air noise when engine is switched off
Both of mine did/do that
I think it’s the vacuum coming off the DISA valve when the engine stops
Unless someone says otherwise I think it’s ok?

It's just the vacuum, mine does it. It's far more noticeable with a big cine filter too. Should be nothing to worry about, my disa has been rebuilt.

I had some air noises which went on for a while after ignition off. It was an air leak that was sorted after I replaced the pcv valve and associated hoses.
