Thunder is our name for the sound made by lightning. The reason there is (usually) a delay between when you see the bolt of lightning and hear the thunder is that light travels more quickly than does sound. This is the reason that you can count seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder to figure out how close the lightning is to you. When the lightning is closer to you, the sound doesn't take as much time to travel to your ears and thus the gap between the lightning and thunder is shorter. So you can't see thunder because it's merely a sound - but you can see the source of that sound.

Ray Bradbury wrote "A Sound of Thunder" in 1952 to explore the concept of time travel and the potential consequences of altering the past. The story serves as a warning about the Butterfly Effect, illustrating how small actions can have significant and unforeseen effects on the future.
At the end of the story the sound of thunder is the whole impact of the differences that have influenced the world and society because of the tragic mistake Eckles did, of killing the butterfly. So then Travis kills Eckles because of his big mistake, that seemed to be all his fault. The sound at the end comes from the shot.
1500 meters/330 meters per second = 4.55 seconds
