Free Sound Effects Material Magic Attribute Sound Thunder 01
These thunder sounds were specially created for magical sound effects.
They include unmistakable lightning strikes—bright flashes and rolling rumbles—that anyone will recognize as thunder, making them perfect for scenes where you want to emphasize lightning-type magic.
It’s a wonderful work that captures classic thunderclaps with high-quality audio sources.
Lightning and lightning bolts, rumbling thunder — no rain (sound effect)
This is an artificially generated thunder sound effect created with a synthesizer.
Since it is not a field recording, there are no other ambient elements—only thunder—and it has a clear, polished sound.
Although it is a paid asset and requires a fee to use, it would be a perfect fit for special effects in games.

This is a set of thunder sound effects.
The diffusion effect—like thunder rolling out across the whole scene after a direct strike—is striking, making it a work full of realism.
The thunder audio itself is also well-crafted, resulting in an impressive production that feels anything but cheap.
Royalty-free, commercially usable sound effect: Thunder 2
Unlike Royalty-Free Thunder Sound Effect 1, this work doesn’t feature direct sounds like lightning strikes, but rather captures sound effects that evoke rumbling storm clouds gathering.
It seems suitable for a variety of uses, such as magical effects in fantasy works or dramatic scenes featuring thunderstorms.
Thunder (strong thunderclaps version) – 1-hour BGM for work and study / Thunder – Lightning BGM / Nature Sounds
This work is based on field recordings, with the sound of thunder heavily edited for dramatic effect.
The strikes in particular are incredibly powerful, letting you fully revel in the unique dread of a thunderstorm as you wait for the next bolt to hit.
As a piece of natural environmental sound, it is fully realized.
[Thunder/Electricity SFX] Charge 03 [Creative Commons]
This work does not feature the sound of thunder from lightning strikes or thunderclouds, but rather recordings of electric shock-like sounds from artificially charged materials.
It skillfully captures a unique type of thunder quite different from natural healing acoustics, making it highly suitable for use in games and videos.
[Thunder SFX] Explosion to Electric Sounds
![[Thunder SFX] Explosion to Electric Sounds](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BW3a0uClmmc/sddefault.jpg)
This material mixes natural thunder with artificial electric current sound effects.
While there’s no denying a slight sense of incongruity, it evokes scenes like electrical circuits shorting or going into thermal runaway.
Both the sound quality and the data size are kept within a reasonable range.
