Based on how you used c, the comment does not make sense. Rather, the later comment that c "is the amount of time between the flash and the sounds" should have mean placed here. d is an undescriptive name. Observe CommonTater's example with good comments:

Incidentally, note that CommonTater used C99 specific comments; prefer your /* */ style of comments if you want to write code compliant with C89/C90.

Speaking of comments, I would go a step further and eliminate the comments by using better variable names:

Code:

int delay;
char go_again;
float distance;
