Thunder IS sound. If lightning is too far away or if there is enough interference, you won't hear the thunder. If you DO hear thunder at all OR see lightning during the day, you are close enough to be struck. So head indoors!

Lightning is the light you see as plasma is generated by the electrical current. Thunder is the sound you hear as the air around the current is heated and rapidly expands. If the lightning strike is far away enough, you won't hear the thunder.

Heat lightening does produce the same set of phenomena. Why? I don't know the scientific explanation but I have seen it many times.
