Thunder is the name given to the loud sound waves created by lightning. The lightning channel heats and expands quickly and explosively, causing a violent disturbance in the air surrounding the strike that radiates outward for a short distance as a supersonic (faster than sound) shock wave.
Thunder can be heard up to 25 miles away from the lightning discharge. At these distances, thunder sounds like a low rumble because the higher frequency pitches are more easily absorbed by the surrounding environment, and the sound waves set off by the lightning discharge have different arrival times.
