positive climb rate

When the aircraft has a positive climb rate I hear two clicking noises. Is this an actuator and if so what is triggered than?

Hi Ton,
The landing gear lever has an automatic lock which stops you from inadvertently selecting gear up on the ground. As you lift off, the air-ground sensing releases this lock and I believe this may be the sound you're hearing.

That's one,

Another one is of the Speed Brake lever which prevent it to move beyond flight detent in flight.
You also hear the autobrakes selector jumps from RTO to OFF.

Cheers,

The gear override lock switch is visible as well. It's the round push button on the gear lever panel.

When you are on the ground, you can also push it manually with the mouse.

When in flight, you can release it by pulling the circuit breaker F24 on the overhead panel.
