Could you get a video or sound clip maybe? It's hard to diagnose with the little information you've given. Where exactly is it coming from? under the hood? At the muffler? etc..

probably the compression from the cylinders leaking out. its normal - assuming thats actually what you're hearing.

did u just install a new intake or something?

Not likely. As Spec mentioned, it is most likely just the air leaking back out of the engine after you shut it off.
