Let's all sit in a circle and hold hands and read the question again!
It is not the automatic brakes coming on (that is a function of the gear actually raising), it is not gear downlocks disengaging/uplocks engaging, it is the bang of the oleos extending to their stops and the gear becomes unweighted. Of course it might be birds hitting the fuselage or lightning strikes or tyres bursting or stewardesses dropping their knitting, but I think it is safe to say it is incontrovertibly oleos extending to their stops!
Perhaps end of thread now?
Just as the nose lifts and the rest of the plane lifts off the ground... you often hear two thuds.

This thread is leaving me quite flat, let alone the hedgehogs! The usual prune 11 different answers from 10 people to a sensible question with one obvious answer!
