How to generate a thunder sound effect
A storm scene needs the right thunder: a low rumble under dialogue, a crack that makes everyone jump. Recording real storms is a matter of luck, so describe the strike and generate it.
1. Describe the thunder
Say the distance and character: a low rumble rolling in, a sharp crack right overhead, a long peal fading across the sky. Note how close and how violent it is.
2. Set the length
Pick 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds, from a single clap to a long rolling rumble.
3. Generate and download
Hear it and download the .mp3. Change a word and rerun to make it nearer, more distant, or sharper.
Close Lightning Strike
a lightning bolt strikes nearby with an explosive crack, followed immediately by powerful rolling thunder and a long natural decay through the surrounding landscape
Thunder at the right distance
A rumble two valleys away and a strike right above the roof are different sounds. A stock thunderclap rarely matches the distance and mood your scene is setting.
Near or far, your call
Describe how close the strike is, and generate thunder that sits in the distance under a quiet scene or cracks right overhead for a scare.
Just the thunder, no full storm
A real recording drags in rain, wind, and traffic. Generate an isolated thunderclap you can drop into a scene and mix with your own rain.
No two strikes alike
Generate up to four takes from one description, each a little different, so a long storm never repeats the same clap.
