Lightning is hotter than the surface of the Sun and causes rapid heating of the air. This in turn causes the air to expand then cool & contract equally rapidly thus causing the thunder. You see the light of the flash almost instantly but the sound arrives a lot more slowly (it takes about 5 seconds for every mile distant).
A lightning bolt can be several miles long with forks going off in different directions so you hear the sound of the nearest part first followed by that from the farther away parts over the following seconds, gradually getting fainter the farther away it is. Plus the sound bounces of the clouds, surrounding terrain, buildings etc. all adding to the rumble.
The frequency of thunder is generally a low sound. Thunder is produced by the rapid expansion of air heated by lightning, creating low-frequency sound waves that we hear as rumbles and booms.
Because it is lighting between clouds. Most of the sound originates at the same distance from you. So the frequency of the sound is nearly the same. Therefor you can hear the harmonics created by the small difference in frequency.
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.
Well, thunder doesn't actually produce lightning. Lightning produces thunder.
The abbreviation for Thunder is TH.
The thunder rumbles in the night. The storm sends overwhelmingly loud rumbles through the air.

"The rain pitter-patters on the window." "The thunder rumbles in the distance." "The wind whooshes through the trees."
