Recovery

I have been flying various Airbus Aircraft for almost 10 years. I can tell you - categorically - the noise that you describe is the result of Speed Brake activation and typically occurs when the speed is above 250 KIAS, regardless of Altitude. It usually doesn't make this sound at low speeds, but is affected to some degree by outside air temperature.
