What's that knock knock sound when I park my car?

I've been hearing it recently....the knock knock knock sound when I go to park. It doesn't seem like it's coming from the engine. Sounds coming from the underbody.

I also hear my timing belt sounding funky when I turn the engine on in the cold mornings. What could it be?

It makes the sound after I park. When I leave the car. It goes on for like a minute or so.

Sounds like metal contracting and expanding to me. It's normal.

I have the same thing, its not as much a knock as it is a tap/ping of sorts though, I'll try and listen and describe it better later though.

I would think its the oil dripping back into the oil pan. I hear a ping also but it
sounds around the car too.
