This sound effect can be found on the 20th Century Fox Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas. This should not be confused with THUNDER - THUNDER CRACKS, LONG ROLL OFF, HEAVY STORM, WEATHER, which is the same thing, but it's more louder and repeating. There is, however, a repeating version of this, as THUNDER - THUNDER CRACKS AND ROLLS, DISTANT STORM.
