What are the thuds you hear on take-off?

Just as the nose lifts and the rest of the plane lifts off the ground... you often hear two thuds.

I assume these are the rear wheels... but WHY does it sound like a thud?

They're already locked in place right? So why does it sound like thats happening again?
