I don't know that sound. When I shut my road king off it makes a compression noise. Hopefully someone can give you some good info but I would get that checked out.

Your bike is totally ruined. But to show what a great guy I am, I'll give you a grand for it sight unseen.

If I shut mine off in gear (with clutch in of course) I hear that noise, if in neutral than nothing heard.

Not sure, but my guess is primary drive backlash when you shut the bike off in gear when parked. Does it make the noise if you shut it off in neutral?
