After you shut down the engine, the heater control closes the air doors to the outside. This is normal if the heater has been on, although 30 seconds is a long time for this. You may also hear a whining as the cooling fan spins to a stop. Another normal sound is the canister purge solenoid clicking on cold startup to clear vapors out of the carbon canister.

After owning a WJ for 5 years, I'm used to the normal noises. It took me a while to figure them out myself.

My 04 WJ does the same thing, it took me several years to get used to it.
