Vibes from the nose gear tyres contacting the snubbers during gear retraction can vary widely depending on tyres and/or snubber condition vs speed.
On a 747-400, it can be loud and sound like a band saw cutting through wood On retraction, main gear wheels are braked hydraulically, nose wheels are braked by two heat resistant pads rubbing against the tyres.
