I've never heard sparks noise before? Grinding noise?

But I think you're talking about the metal ticking noise. That's the metal on your catalytic converters cooling down, perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.

He put some Optimus Prime in that **** at the gas station!

But agreed, likely that cats cooling down....nothing to fret over. Could also be condensation from the A/C unit dripping on the hot pipes and evaporating.
