Thunder Sound Effects

Many years ago, radio performers created their own weather: a thunderstorm was often simulated by shaking a thin sheet of metal. How times have changed! These days, movies and TV shows feature extremely convincing storm sound effects, from pounding rain to huge lightning claps. And now, with the advent of searchable online sound libraries, it's easier than ever to locate the perfect thunder sound effects!

At the Sonomic website, you'll find a catalog of more than 250,000 sound effects, including nearly 300 pertaining to thunderstorms. Not only can you listen to the tracks before you purchase them, but downloading them to your computer is as simple as clicking your mouse. There's no need to purchase an entire CD or DVD full of weather noises if you only need one or two. Sonomic gives you the flexibility to buy exactly what you want.

You can find a big clap with wind and rain, a large rolling rumble, a huge crack punctuated with rain, distant heavy rolling, thunder with light rain, cartoon thunder rumbles, and powerful lightning strikes. As you can see, each effect is incredibly precise, allowing you to find the one that perfectly suits your specific needs.

Other effects within the weather category include wind, general storms, snow, and rain. Within the broader category of "nature," you'll find effects for forests and jungles, waterfalls, natural disasters, and more.
