Hi, thanks so much for the sound. I plan on using it in a short audio drama to post online, probably as a podcast.

Thank you for this. I am using it in a Community Play about the last 1000 years of the town of Wells-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk UK. The play is entitled Crossfire. The Climax of the play is the Church being struck by lightning and burning down.

Hello, I have a question. Please forgive my damaged brain; I am confused about how to satisfy the requirements of use. This sound, "Thunder, Very Close, Rain, A.wav," does not seem to be listed in the sound list on your website. I can see several tracks listed with the name "Thunder, Very Close, Rain," followed by the numbers 1 through 20, but none followed by "A." I just want to be sure I'm doing this properly, and a good thunderclap is hard to come by.
My project is an amateur piece of audio sketch comedy. I have no idea if/how it will ever become profitable, but I might as well not rule it out. :)
Here's to everyone's good health.
