Every time lightning strikes, a huge assortment of stuff is released. We're all familiar with the usual flash of light and sound, but what you probably didn't know is that lightning releases a huge burst of radio as well. This type of radio, known as VLF radio, is some of the strangest there is. By converting this radio directly to sound we hear a cacophony of sounds, from pops and click, to animal like chirps and even strange sci-fi sounding noises. There's lot of other phenomena that can also produce VLF radio like this and by learning what each sound is, and when to listen for them, you can learn a lot about what's going on on earth.

I knew that it transmitts radio waves. Pretty good frequencies are 1MHz and 3MHz if you are using a simple am radio reciever. I use that quite often to see if thunderstorms are nearby. But an vlf reciever is really easy to build using a lm386 which is really cheap on ebay. I could build a spark radio transmitter with a few kW pulse power to transmit on vlf artificially. I have a few soviet pulse capacitors that would work well for that. By the way in germany there is an antenna system by siemens that not only can triangulate the lightning location but also estimate the current. The page is kachelmannwetter.com/de/blitze .
