I'm a Darwin storm chaser and please believe me, lightning does make sound up close! 0.0
More of a pop/buzzing sound with an instant sharp almighty CRACK!! It doesn't appear to 'rumble' like strikes 300+ metres away due to distance, acoustics, resonant frequencies, etc..
ive been in 2 houses stuck, a house across the road from one stuck, about 30 mtrs from a goal post stuck, been within 100mtrs from strikes countless times. If you love lightning this is the place to be.... during the wet if our weather doesn't get anymore weird.
oh yeah i discoved that when lighning strikes close enough it doesn't make any sound, it's almost like the shock wave hasn't had enough time to propigate.
Oh man, I miss Darwin weather sometimes.
The heat didnt matter that much because everyone had airconditioning and pools ahha.
But these storms were always brutal and fantastic.!

Hello from Florida, USA...we sure get our share of lightning storms here...probably just as bad as Darwin, if not definitely worse.
