The noise coming from a lightning is created when the speed of sound is broken.

The heat from the electricity raises the temperature of the surrounding air extremely. Since the lightning is so fast, the air has no time to expand.
The heated air is compressed and soon the air explodes forming a shock wave. Like an explosion, the rapidly expanding waves of compressed air create a loud burst of noise.
