Strictly speaking thunder doesn't make a sound. Thunder IS the sound made by lightning. Thunder is always proceeded by lightning and the sound is literally the sound of the bolt of lightning ripping through the air at an incredible speed ionising the air, rapidly raising temperature, breaking the sound barrier and physically hitting the earth. The sound can be described as a rumble, a screech, a boom or a crack depending upon your proximity to the lightning and its type.
A whistle typically produces a high-pitched sound, while thunder is a deep rumbling noise.
An example of a low sound is the rumble of thunder during a thunderstorm.
Lightning generates electromagnetic waves, including visible light and radio waves. Thunder is the sound wave created by the rapid expansion and contraction of air caused by the intense heat of a lightning bolt.
It depends on whether you're looking for one word, or a series of words you can string together. One of the interesting things about onomatopoeia is that if you do a good enough job with it, in a piece of writing, you'll never have to mention the word "thunder" even once, for people to know what you're talking about. "Rumble" is usually the single word I think of most often, associated with the sound of thunder. But there are lots of other words that bring to mind the sound of thunder. "Thunder" itself, for that matter, kind of sounds like thunder. Consider the following words: Percussion, doubled, redoubled, crashing, rolling, cascading, bomb, -- any word that has a "crashing" sound or an "explosive" sound could be evocative of thunder, in one's imagination. "Boom!" could be a one-word sound for thunder. If you are writing something, as a story or a poem, you can string a lot of "thundery" sounding words together, to get the idea across. The list above is not at all complete -- just an example of a few words that can bring the sound of thunder to mind.

Oh, dude, hyperbole is like when you exaggerate stuff to make a point, right? So, in "A Sound of Thunder," there's this line that goes, "The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water." It's like saying the sign's so scared, it's sweating bullets or something. Like, chill out, sign, it's just a little time travel mishap.
