41k miles, question about shutting car off

So when I shut the car off, towards the very end of the "de-ignition" sequence, the engine makes this knocking sound for about 1/2 a second. It kinda sounds like the same sound you get when idling with the a/c on and the compressor kicks in.

Reminds me of what worn engine mounts might sound like, and the car shakes mildly.

It's slight, and short, and not too loud, kinda like a worn-in evo probably should sound, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced this.

OK, so an engine damper actually helps this out a bit? I bet it helps with the a/c idle as well.

Thanks for posting!
