Airbus 320

I travel regularly (2/3 times per week) in the Gulf, and have used most of the Gulf carriers, but being based in Bahrain, it is typically with Gulf Air. Now I know that the problems of GF have been well aired on this site but I'd be grateful for anyone with the tech know how to help with the following. On the GF a320, take off in all weather, even with few pax aboard and at all times of the day or night seems to take much longer than I've experienced on other airlines - I'm talking about accelaration time on the ground before lift off. On recent flights on different a/c (a320), at the moment of takeoff there has been a pronounced and very audible shiver which seems to run through the cabin from front to rear as the plane pulls up. Any thoughts on what this is or whether it is anything to be concerned about? Many thanks.
