Default Noise from Engine at shut off

Hello...

Wondering if anyone can help me. When I shut off the truck (07 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 DWD 5.9L auto) I hear a noise that sounds like "spreech" it sounds like you say it, but with a more whooshing sound. I am not sure what this is or exactly. I only have 11,000 miles on it and it used to do it rarely, now it is every time I turn it off. I have no mods other than the Silencer ring removed. Any help would greatly be appreciated :-))

She's still a Virgin, give her time and she'll loosen up.

Belt chirp when you shut it off. Completely normal. You can try a different belt. I've tried a few on my 02 and was never able to get the chirp to stop. My 04 doesnt seem to have that problem though.

Comes and goes, but if you turn the A/C off first that's helps to stop it
