Imagine you're playing with a toy that vibrates, like a little buzzing bee. When the air inside a thunderstorm starts to vibrate really fast, it makes a sound that feels just like that buzzing bee. This vibration happens because of something called sound waves, which are like invisible ripples in the air.
Examples
- A thunderstorm in the distance sounds like a whole swarm of bees buzzing together.
- Your dog starts to whine during a storm, it hears the buzz you don't.
