A spark jumping between two wires is an example of lightning (on a much smaller scale) that may make a fizzing sound, but no thunder. It is the vast electrical charge of nature that super-heats the column of air down which the lightning (natural spark on a much bigger scale) travels, that leave a vacuum in its wake. It is the air crashing back to fill that vacuum, that create the thunder.
