What's running after I shut my MS3 off?

Ghosts!

Sometimes after I turn my car off and get out of it, I hear a buzzing from under the hood for a few seconds. A friend told me it is the throttle body, I have never heard of this, he said a Mazda he used to drive did the same thing. Anyone know what this is? My wife was just getting the dog from the garage, she said she heard a "buzzing". I think it was probably the lights in the garage. I haven't driven the car in more than 5 hours, I would be more than concerned if something was switching on under the hood. I think the reason this has peaked my interest so much is that years ago, Ford had a problem with cruise control parts remaining live after the vehicle was shut down, causing fires. I think it was only related to the Explorer. I'm pretty sure Ford has little to nothing to do with the build of the MS3, but you never know. My bedroom is above the garage, I really don't want a fire and it's exactly 0 degrees, I don't want to be jumping out the window LOL!!! Any help would be appreciated.

You are all doomed1 Oh the horror; oh the sorrow! (omg) (peep)

yeah I tried to keep things on track but it was no use haha
 
Does the MS3 have a after-run coolant pump? My VW Golf 1.8t and Audi S4 2.7t both have these pumps that'll circulate coolant after you shut off the car providing the engine was driven hard enough to warrant it. This helps cool everything down - including the turbo. It makes a sound similar to what everyone is talking about.

I'm still doing research on the MS3 but that's my .02 if there aren't any fans moving.
 
yeah i caught me off guard the first time i heard it too.....all the odd noises newer mazdas make....like the annoying engine ticks
