Ticking noise with stopped hot engine

[hancock1701]

Hi guys,

So when my car has been at operating temperature, and I turn it off, there's a ticking noise coming from the engine bay. It sounds like something is cooling down and making a ticking noise. It has been this way since forever, and I'm trying to find out where it comes from. I don't hear it when my car idles, only when I turn off a hot engine.

Thanks,
