Why would a turboprop rev down just before going full throttle during takeoff?

The only turbprop I've travelled is the ATR 72. I've noticed that the props' rev go down (for like a second, the sound also goes down) just before engaging full throttle in order to takeoff. I've included a video (video is not mine), this thing happens at 1:40. Why the RPM drops for a sec? Or is this just the sound?

Most likely this is happening after the pilot advances the power lever -- but the power lever controls both throttle (fuel flow, in a turbine), and propeller pitch.
The propeller can change pitch pretty quickly, while the turbine takes longer to increase power (increased fuel flow must produce hotter combuster air, which must then spin up both the turbine-compressor section, and the independent shaft power turbine connected to the gear box and propeller). Usually, the engine's rotating parts will change RPM faster than the ones that spin the (relatively large) propeller, so you may hear the "whine" or "whistle" of the primary shaft spooling up before the propeller noise starts to rise, possibly even while the propeller is still slowing down from the pitch increase.

Because the pilot is taxiing the airplane with the props in the beta range (turboprops turn into landsharks if you don’t do this and you end up really riding the brakes to keep the speed down), then on takeoff, the propellers move into a maximum power setting, the engine snarls and slows a bit under the increased workload.
