lightning crack
Bolt's sudden sound
The sharp, explosive sound that accompanies a lightning strike, produced by the rapid expansion of air heated by the electrical discharge.
While thunder is the general term for lightning's sound, a lightning crack specifically describes the immediate, startling snap heard when lightning strikes nearby: A lightning crack made everyone jump.
