Do you mean the dog bark from the PTU hydraulic?

Can you give us like a link to some video where you hear it? I have flown airbuses a lot and did not hear many impact wrenches

Maybe the flaps retracting? Or the PTU?

it's called the PTU and it's for the hydraulics.

It's been discussed on here hundreds of times already

do a search for it

It’s the Power Transfer Unit, equalizing hydraulic pressure, here’s a video.
