Errr what does that mean???? Im confused static electricity is totally unrelated to noise. The noise you hear is exactly what thunder is.
Not true either. If you have an electronic component that is rated for 6volts and it gets 100volts from a static spark it is going to die on you.
The voltage (potential) is what initiates the breakdown but it is the energy (voltage x current) or the current that melts things.
