Evocative Sound and Visuals is pleased to announce its latest sound effects library entitled, The Amish. It is a rare collection of high-quality recordings featuring life among an Old Order Amish community in northeast Ohio.

The library features these sounds and more:
The beginning of class in a one-room schoolhouse, including the morning bell, captured from the outside and inside.

Early-morning barn chores captured inside, including cow milking and tending to stalls. Bonus sounds include cows peeing and pooping right next to the mics. This was not a pleasant experience for me, but one that elicited much snickering from the youngsters.

Hitched teams of large draft horses, snorting and whinnying as they plow a muddy field, with pass-bys and follow-behinds.

The relaxing sounds of rain and rolling thunder, captured from inside an old metal-roofed barn on several occasions.

The peaceful sounds of clothes swaying on a line in an afternoon breeze.

The sound of cornstalks blowing in the wind in autumn and in winter, when they're dry and brittle.

The tink, tink, tap, tap as a farrier putting new shoes on a horse.

Bringing in dry hay at the end of the growing season, plus putting it into a silo.

Interior and exterior perspectives of two working vintage sawmills.

Inside a leather shop, where an Amish farmer makes hand-made flyswatters with his children.

The rhythmic sounds of a squeaky old metal windmill spinning, along with water that gurgles from the pipe as it comes out of the ground.

• Wagon and buggies (onboard and pass-by perspectives)

Hello, I'm Richard Alan Hannon, an audio field recordist based in Northeast Ohio. I love searching out and recording unique high-quality soundscapes and sound effects near and far. As a former newspaper photojournalist who concentrated solely on visuals, I find myself smitten by sound in ways I never experienced prior to hitting the record button. Let me share my ear-opening passion with you.
