Clouds don’t make thundering noises. Thunder is the product of lightening exceeding the speed of sound and creating a sonic boom.

it’s not the clouds that make the thundering noise, its the change in air pressure that causes the sound.

Clouds make a thundering noise when they strike because…. as clouds are vapour form of water..they dissociate into ions….when positive n negative ions collide eachother.. we hear a thundering sound………….thunder is only b’coz collision of two opposite charges…

Thunder does not come from clouds hitting each other. It is the byproduct of lightning. Air pressure increases rapidly around the area of a lightning strike and boom, you get thunder.

cloud does no make any sound when there is a positive charge in a cloud and a negative charge comes near it then the negative charge runs to wards positive charge and this we see as lightning. Lightning heats nearby air to about 10,000 °C (18,000 °F) nearly instantly, which is almost twice the temperature of the Sun’s surface.
