Mine does the same. In my case it is the exhaust system cooling. Id say that is what yours would be.

Is this normal or is this a problem? Can it be fixed? Btw my IC pump is bad and the s/c shuts off very easily...could that have something to do with this?

It's normal. I just got my car back after they installed new cats, and it was snap crackle pop until everything cooled down. I haven't heard about a bad IC pump making that noise.

All cars do this to some extent.

Metal expands and contracts with changing temperatures, so things start creaking and moving around when you turn it off and things start to cool back off.
