mine does this as well, i figured its the imac not shutting down properly?
never bothered to do anything about it though - always just hold the button down at the back.
Does it continue for a long while, it could be the fan getting rid of exces heat (my old PC did it alot after gaming) or maybe a problem with the Optical Drive continuing to spin..
