I'd take it you mean a "Woosh" sound 2 seconds after you turn it off? IIRC Its caused by a dirty Throttle body. No harm really.

What he said. It can also be caused by a dirty Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, which is part of the throttle body. It's easy to remove and clean, won't take more than an hour if you go slow and it's really dirty.
