I cannot think of a reason for the whining while the engine is off.
As far as the ticking noise, it's normal to hear some ticking, however, if there's excessive or loud ticking check the engine oil level, it sounds like the engine is low on oil (maybe).
Do you replace the oil according to manufacturers recommendations? What type of oil do you use? and which viscosity?
