Anyone else have this?

Sitting in my 2012 E91 320d

Been driving, then stop, engine off and sit quitetly in the car for 2 or 3 minutes, (listening to radio or just early).
About 2 minutes after switching engine off there is a noise that sounds just like a ships foghorn in the distance.

A monotone sound.
Lasts for 5 seconds, then a subtle mechanical sound then it stops.

What is it?

I know it's part of the normal function of the car but I'm just wondering if anyone knows.

Mine does this too, thought it might've been the fuel pump priming or something.

ETA: Just googled it, might be the AC inlet flaps closing.

I have heard it too and it has to be something closing down.
