| Some Comments on Suburban Thunder: "Man...let me give you my highest compliments...because I have my ears very very very trained to thunder sounds and I quickly know when a thunder clap doesn't sound real....believe me....i been in hundreds of thunderstorms....and I almost got struck by lightning three times.... and Suburban Thunder....is the best recording.....definitely real but REAL in capital letters.... yesterday we had a severe thunderstorm here where I live...and I didn't realize at first becuse I was listening to yours!!! Imagine how real it is that you don't see the difference when you hear a real one in your town!!! WOW....then when the ozone smell came into my room through the window i finally realized it was raining outside....then I compared every single thunder clap with yours....EQUALLY REAL....." Martin Traid Argentina "The thunderstorm recording is unbelievable. There are some points that actually scared me. Great." Greg DeLaura Wayne, NJ "First I want to tell you how much I use the thunder and firework cd's of yours. They are absolutely a must have for me. I am dog breeder and I use them to socialize my puppies. I start with them at a low volume, by the time the pups are 8 weeks they are listening to them at 'real' life volumes completely at ease. Thank you for such a great product." Cindy Martishius President EMDAA www.emdaa.com "thanks for the cd michael. it's money well spent. hearing thunder is a wonderful experience and your recording is the best i've heard on cd." best regards, Paul, from bonnie, scotland. "This is the best thunderstorm CD I've ever heard. It has the loudest thunder! It is truly a severe thunderstorm in a box! You've really captured the perfect moment with this awesome recording. Thanks for such a joyful, and exciting experience. I will recommend your company to everyone that I run into. Your products are simply and truly awesome! I've heard other thunderstorm CD's in the past, but yours really knocks a real punch! Besides that, I hate all that piano music and other stuff that is traditionally added to most other thunderstorm CD's Those just don't sound natural at all, but yours does! That's because it is the real thing! Who wants a computer generated thunderstorm anyway, not when you can order the real thing from your company. Talk about realism! Your thunderstorm CD is truly the ultimate experience....You got the storm from beginning to end. Wow! Amazing! Phenominal! Exciting, and truly wonderful! Sincerely, Donald Brown Extremely Satisfied Customer "I just got the CD "Suburban Thunder" today, and I want to thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to hear! I was beginning to think I could never find a CD with the "right" thunderstorm sound. But, this really sounds like the storm I wanted to hear again. I am so happy with it I had to tell you thanks! I was also surprised how quickly I got it. Thank you, thank you, thank you ........." K.

Frequently asked questions about Suburban Thunder:
Q: Is there any music on this CD?
A: No music whatsoever. Suburban Thunder is a documentary CD which only has the sounds of a severe thunderstorm. No music, human voices or anything else. Just an hour long Central Florida summer thunderstorm.
Q: What if the CD arrives damaged?
A: F7 Sound and Vision will replace any damaged or factory-defective Suburban Thunder CD with a new one. To arrange for a replacement, all you have to do is contact me via phone or email and send me back the damaged/defective CD. I'll send you a new one.
Q: How long does it take to get my CD?
A: F7 Sound and Vision ships all orders placed by 3pm eastern time the same day. This excludes orders placed on weekends and holidays, which will ship the following business day. I can ship overnight via FedEx for an additional fee. CDs are shipped via US Postal and generally get to their USA and Canada destinations within 4 - 5 business days. Orders to the UK, Europe, and Australia generally arrive in 6 - 12 business days.
Q: How many thunderstorms are on the CD?
A: Only one. That's one of the things that makes Suburban Thunder so special. It was a recording of a single thunderstorm. There's lots of lightning and all kinds of thunder from rolling to very close "explosive" thunder claps. The whole storm lasted over an hour and no thunder (rolling or claps) is ever repeated.
Q: Can I use Suburban Thunder to help train my dog not to be afraid of lightning and thunder?
A: Lots of people have purchased Suburban Thunder for this specific reason. I have heard (and read) that some people suggest using the sounds of a thunderstorm at low volumes to help condition a dog to not fear thunderstorms. If your vet suggests that you try exposing your dog to a recorded thunderstorm, then try Suburban Thunder. It is possibly the best recorded severe thunderstorm available.
