His hyper sensitive hearing can detect them, and they work similar to white noise weapons on regular human beings. Thus, they could disorient him, or perhaps even do more.
a thunder clap is a sonic attack on steroids.
No, Battlehammer, I don't believe that really follows. In the comics I've seen, thunderclaps cause damage by the air displaced, not by the sound. I've seen Wolverine be rendered...at least disoriented, if not worse, by high intensity SOUND. Now, as I've said, I don't care for modern comics, so if there is a retcon of this, I haven't seen it. However, I don't believe the Hulk thunderclap really works. A very loud sound doesn't effect someone the same way as a high frequency sound. Look at how dog whistles affect canines.

the whole part of a thunder clap is the sonic noices it creates damage peoples hearing/brains. It been able to knock out meta humans. You can ignore it if you want but it a dam fact that it has and does render people knocked by the intensity of the noise. really when have you seen logan been rendered disoriented or worse by noise?
so yes your wrong .

Well now, I never claimed that I was unequivocally right, I was just pointing out a possibility. I don't have any scans of Wolverine being incapacitated by sonics, though I do believe I have read it somewhere. I'm afraid I've never collected Wolverine comics, though I've read my share of X-Men. I was hoping someone more well versed than myself would be able to help out. The only thing I can offer is that I am certain he was disabled by high frequency sounds in the TAS. Since that show was based with fair accuracy off the comics, I think that this might hold some credence, but I wouldn't venture to say how much.
On the other hand, I would very much like to see scans of thunderclaps causing sonic damage, as I've never seen that before. I've seen Hulk's claps literally blow people away, but that is evidence of displaced air resulting in blunt force damage.
You may very well be right, I'm simply saying I'm curious.
