No, lightning produces noise, (thunder) though.
The loud noise heard after lightning is thunder. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a bolt of lightning, creating a shock wave that we hear as a booming sound.
Classic lightning is simply called lightning. Lightning is an abrupt electrical discharge in the atmosphere. It is usually followed by a loud noise which it called thunder.
Thunder
The noise caused by lightning is primarily an impulse sound, commonly referred to as thunder. This occurs when the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding the lightning bolt generates a shockwave. The intense heat of the lightning causes the air to expand explosively, creating the characteristic rumbling or cracking sound associated with thunder. Thermal noise is not a factor in this context.
Yes, they are essentially the same thing. A lightning arrester is a device used to protect structures from damage caused by lightning strikes, which can also be referred to as a thunder arrester due to the loud noise produced by thunder during a lightning storm.

Loud noise and lightning flashes
Thunder
The Lightning Thief.
Thunder is the loud crashing or rumbling noise heard after a flash of lightning. This happens because lightning heats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we hear as thunder.
The loud noise is called 'thunder' or 'a thunder clap'. The sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave which produces the sound of thunder.
