How do I format non-dialogue sound in a script? Is that considered part of "action"?

like...

EXT. FOREST. DAY.

Sound of thunder & heavy wind. Boy looks up nervously.




or Should I make a new heading?


EXT. FOREST. DAY.

( Sound: Thunder + Heavy wind. )

Boy looks up nervously.

I would be more 3rd person omniscient about it.

EXT. FOREST - DAY

Lightning flashes. Thunder booms. Winds blow heavily.

A boy sits among the trees. He quivers as his eyes dart around him.

That's what I'm talking about.

Designing the movie for sound = real Sound Design.

I love when scripts do this.

Here's a few must reads.
