Default slight rattle when turning engine off-normal?

What makes this noise? I have a C4 and it never did this.

Step on the clutch pedal and then turn it off... presto - no noise.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure it's due to the length and spacing between the engine and the trans via the "torquetube".
I've been pushing in the clutch so long on shutdown now I forget about it.

That'll keep pressure on the drivetrain and eliminate the noise! Just indicative of the set-up...
