Could the sound be coming from a cooling fan which is still running after you shut the car?

Also, the white smoke concerns me. If this happens after the engine has been run for some time, it could indicate that you are getting coolant into the engine's combustion chamber. This is usually the result of a bad head gasket or intake gasket.

Finally, has the engine ever overheated? Have you had to add coolant? Is the car's performance the same as it always has been or has it changed?
