I can't hear the noise but it doesn't sound normal to me. Mine does not make any noise upon shutdown.

Hi again - I put air fuel monitors on it — found right side running lean - adjusted idle mixture screw on right cylinder - now in shut down turning engine off — sound has gone away— detonation???

Check for vacuum leaks. You might be sucking air. Carb to manifold boots or the squirrel condoms. On a 2006 all the rubber bits are probably suspect.

It's not just the cam chain tensioner letting go it's tension when the engine stops is it?

+1 on the vacuum leak.Don't ignore that, you can burn pistons or valves or both. Spray some carb clean around the suspected areas and listen for a change in the idle.
