First of all, let's get our constants straight. "Miles" is not a speed, and the

speed of sound is not 330 miles per anything. 330 meters per second is a

reasonable value to use for the speed of sound.

1,500/330 = 4.545 seconds.(rounded)

How long does it take thunder to travel a mile?

A quick rule of thumb is 5 seconds. Since sound travels at a little over 1000 feet per second which is about a fifth of a mile. A better estimate is 1125 feet per second. 5280 / 1125 = 4.693 seconds

When lightning appears in the remote distance and appears to produce no thunder sound?

It still produces thunder - however... the further the sound wave travels through the air, the more it weakens. If you're a long way from the storm - chances are the sound of the thunder will have dissipated before it gets to you.

How long does it take for thunder to travel a mile?

By way of some "round" math, (rounding quotients to the nearest whole numbers), I have extrapolated 5 seconds as a decent "Rule of thumb". Thunder will go *approximately* 1 mile every 5 seconds, at average. Humidity, elevation, etc. affect air density, which affects the speed of sound, but negligibly for this answer. So, see the flash, count 5, 1 mile (approximately).
