Do you mean just a little "shimmy & squeak"? That's normal on almost all diesels. The thing is, the combustion events in a diesel are so abrupt, relative to a gas engine, that when you shut it down, the engine stops like RIGHT NOW, and the accessory belt keeps going momentarily, causing the squeak. The abrupt shut-down also causes a little shake when you shut the engine off. It's more pronounced in the Cummins than the PStroke or Dmax, but they all do it to some extent.
