The speed of sound is about 340 metres per second, meaning that for most things you experience, you won't be able to notice the delay between what you hear and what you see.
Doesn't mean it's not there though. Pay attention next time you go to a fireworks display, and you'll notice that the thumps don't line up with the flashes.
