It should be air in your cooling system that you are hearing. Flush your system and burp the coolant.

If burping the system does not work try replacing the caps. Sometimes a leaky ast cap will do that as well.

Edit- a leaky cap will let air in your system.

Seems pretty normal to me. When you shut your car off the residual heat in the motor is going to cause the coolant to heat up to a higher temperature than it was right before you shut the car off. Since there's no coolant flow or air passing through the radiator this increase in coolant temp is going to cause an increase in pressure. The AST is where excess pressure is bled off to the overflow tank. You're probably just hearing that going on. Once the water cools down, it'll contract causing a vacuum to form. At this point the vaccum should cause the coolant that was pushed into the overflow tank to get pulled back into the system. If your overflow bottle isn't up to the right level it may be sucking a bit of air back into the system. If your coolant low buzzer isn't coming on I wouldn't worry about it, just make sure your levels are good.

Seriously, just look at this thread. If more people used these threads so many people would be highly knowledgable when it comes to FD3S's it would be ridiculous, myself included.
