Although it is hard to hear, one of the EBA E-Bells on this Dutch railroad crossing sounds a bit off.

Here's a crossing in Italy that has some pretty rough sounding bells, one of which is flat.

Interesting ring pattern there...it almost sounds like they're being manually rung.

Here is a clock-ticking bell on a crossing in Germany, sounds satisifying to me for some reason.

Hard to tell, but it sounds like one of these WRRS motor bells sounds extremely flat.
