.....or a tiny hole(s) (usually) surrounded by black charring - which you really do have to make a concerted effort to try to locate.
The loudness of the "bang" will depend upon where the strike is - if it's on the radome, or near the cockpit, then you'll hear it - a short BANG (as opposed to a quick bang in a hotel room
)

Quite correct Kappy and numbskull............
Or, on a different occasion, a VERY loud bang and blinding light (cockpit left-hand window pillar hit), light fittings flying around the cockpit, and a rather large sheet of metal peeled back on the upper surface of the horizontal stabiliser.

UL, it does not only hit the fasteners, but they do the arky sparky around the edges and that lewaves nice visible evedence.
Some took a big hit in a glider a while back, and found out that a carbon fibre disk rag has a rather sad flight path. They found a fused lump of Al that looked very like the control linkages in another padock.
Remember, practice safe bondage
