The Thunder sound in the game is very poor

Real thunder (Gitea #4): six CC0 recordings, close cracks and distant rolls, in place of the synthesised rumble; a storm's flash is followed by a roll seconds later or a crack sooner, quieter indoors, and a strike on a tree cracks from the tree

Fixed in 0.6.2 (8f3c58c).

The synthesised rumble is gone: thunder is now six CC0 recordings from Freesound (three close cracks, three distant rolls; credited in assets/audio/CREDITS.md).
After a flash in a storm you mostly hear a distant roll a few seconds later, sometimes a close crack sooner; quieter under a roof.
Lightning striking a tree near you cracks from the tree itself.
