Narrative:

Due to a nuisance horn at the beginning of takeoff roll, aircraft cleared the runway. This was not a rejected takeoff. Captain pulled the speed brake out of the down detent position and this allowed the throttles to move to takeoff position without the horn. Subsequent takeoff was uneventful.
