It was simply a wheel or a few wheels out of "balance" on the main gear.
Sometimes airplane wheels do that when spinning, immediately after leaving the ground.
When the gear is retracted, brakes are applied to stop wheel rotation.
Nothing to be concerned about - Even "new planes" can be noisy and vibrate as well.
