anyone else have this problem?

When I park my car I notice that it knocks for a couple minutes. My old car did that too, but it was a very old car, so I didn't think much of it. But I've only had 500 miles on my IS350 and it knocks (sounds like rice crispies on steroids). Is it just me? Yes, I use premium gas.

I'm surprised at how often this question gets asked. On any motoring forum, not just this one.

To answer your question, this is a common sound of the catalytic converters cooling down. They are still new.
