Default Sound from engine after switching off

Hi All

I own LX570 2012 model , Once I switch off the engine i hear a sound as if a motor is running , clearly this is not same sound of fan cooling off the engine..The sound keeps coming for some time and then goes away automatically.. Any idea???

Every LX I have owned has made this noise (squeal) when you turn off the engine. I think it is the hydraulic pressure bleeding off the suspension. It does it for about 5 seconds or so. Seems to come from the back half of the vehicle.

On a 3rd Generation Toyota Tacoma it's the charcoal canister pump that runs sometimes. May be similar emissions equipment on the LX?
