This one puzzles me really:

  In almost all movies and TV series, where there's lightning, the sound
of the thunder is played exactly at the same time. I can't remember any
exceptions to this rule.

  I really can't understand why. In reality the thunder almost never
starts sounding immediately with the lightning but there's always a
pause, often of several seconds. Practically 100% of people know this
from lifelong experience.

  So why are movie makers so afraid of putting a realistic pause between
the lightning and the thunder? They know there should be a pause, all
the viewers know it, no viewer would get bothered by there having a
realistic pause because they know it should be there. So why? Why this
odd rule?
