Likely the dual-mass flywheel.
If so, it's normal (I think -- at least mine does it too

I was praying i didnt get a response like- that noise of marbles in a garbage can ,is the first sign of the lower end letting go, and a full rebuild is needed.

If it is a 6-Speed, this is because teh transmission is in the rear and it takes a second (or two) for the torque tube to stop spinning.
Next time before you shut off engine, simultaneously press in the clutch pedal with your left foot (releasing the clutch from flywheel) while pressing the brake with your right foot.
No more marbles.
