I guess nobody cares. The disk should be made so that it spins down
properly when the power is removed. So they probably rely on that. I
can also hear unpleasant cracks from speakers or see weird flashes on
the screen. I would bet that if anybody then Apple would care to
remove any unpleasant noises on shutdown. After all they can make the
software fit the hardware or the other way around, and they are into
that cool and sleek stuff.
