A320 questions

I have recently done 5 legs on TP and LH A319/320's and have come up with a few questions.

1. After gear retraction a single "Pling" is heard the PA. The same could also be heard after gear extention. ( not to be mistaken for the PNF's cycling of the fasten seatbelt sign, that some airlines use to alert CA)
-Any good reason for this?

2. Compared to B737's the Airbus seems to need very few flap selections during approach and landing. I know that the airbus has few flap postitions, but could somebody enlighten me on normal flap usage during app and ldg.
