The bang you hear is the nose gear oleo extending on rotation
And likewise the main gear? Its quite noticeable on the 737, not sure about the 747 as I've never had the pleasure of flying in one.

I believe there is often also a slight judder/vibration which can be caused when the main gear wheels stop rotating just after take-off.
