Thunder Sound Effect

📝 Description

Thunder is the sky clearing its throat — a rolling, chest-deep rumble that has meant drama since before drama had a name. It is the most versatile mood tool in nature's catalog: distant thunder promises trouble, close thunder delivers it, and a single crack turns any sentence into a prophecy. Use it under storm scenes, villain lines, and ominous announcements — including trivial ones, where the mismatch is the joke. It layers under rain for instant atmosphere and punctuates dramatic pauses with meteorological authority. When the weather editorializes, this is its opinion.
