Hissing Sound After Shutoff

Does anyone else have a hissing sound coming from their engine area after turning it off? I'm having a hissing sound lasting about 20 seconds after shutting down. The sound is similiar to leaking air. Could it have something to do with the supercharger releasing pressure?

SL55 has ABC I thought?

Either way, I wouldn't worry about it, if you really think it's abnormal record it and let us listen to it

Yeah the SL55 does have the ABC....I guess that could be it. But are you guys experiencing the same thing?

I hear the same thing in my SL5, so it might just be an SL
thing. I was curious as to what it was. Whatever it is, it
certainly does intimidate friends. One of my friends said
my car was hissing at him like a snake, and I told him its
because he drives a camero, lol.

ABC is correct. Don't worry about it, it actually sounds kinda cool. Like the "beast" is cooling off. I love SL's.
