Is this Normal ?

I got a 01 Nav, ive always been driving it with the sound blasting loud, for the first time in a long time I finally drove without it.
I pull up into the driveway and turn off the engine I then notice a low gurgling sound coming from the glove box area, it lasted for about 5 secs after turning off the engine, im assuming that its the AC settling.
What I would like to know is if this is normal ?

Yes, it's the water gurgeling from inside the heater core. I've heard several that do it.

A hissing sound can be heard when the AC system is equalizing pressure. Gurgling can be heard when air bubbles through the heater core. And sometimes, condesation can be hear dripping and 'steaming off' hot exhaust elements.
