Probably not. The physical sources of thunder remain constant and the acoustic properties of the medium of transmission (the atmosphere) has not changed in any significant manner for a very long time.

Why are some sounds louder than others?

The loudness of a sound is related to how much energy is transmitted to the air. Clapping your hands transmits a small amount of energy. Detonating a stick of dynamite transmits MUCH more energy. The amplitude of the sound wave is much greater, and the noise, louder.


If a sound seems to be getting louder which of the following is probably increasing intensity frequency wavelength or speed and sound?

The sound will get louder when the amplitude of the sound pressure increases. The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations.

What is the sound of lightning?

The sound of lightning is known as thunder, which occurs when the intense heat from a lightning strike rapidly expands the surrounding air. This rapid expansion creates a shock wave that propagates through the atmosphere, resulting in the rumbling or crackling sound we hear. The distance from the observer can affect how the thunder sounds, with closer strikes producing louder, sharper sounds and more distant strikes resulting in softer, more prolonged rumbles.


The sound caused by the rapid expansion of air along an electrical strike?

The sound caused by the rapid expansion of air along an electrical strike is thunder. Lightning heats the air rapidly, causing it to expand quickly, which creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder.

Is thunder louder to dogs than humans?

Thunder is not louder to dogs than it is to humans, but thunder is more frightening to dogs than it is to humans, because we humans know what thunder is, and dogs don't.

Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. As sound waves travel farther from their source, the more spread out their energy becomes.

Lighting without Thunder?

Lightning without thunder is not possible since thunder is directly caused by lightning. When lightning strikes, it superheats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we perceive as thunder. The closer you are to the lightning, the louder the thunder will be.
