One of the bells on this Slovakian crossing signal sounds pretty flat and has a cowbell feeling to it too.


That crossing must also have some bad relays for a six minute activation.

This Safetran bell sounds rather weak:


This mechanical bell also sounds pretty flat:


This e-bell starts out normal but starts glitching once the gates begin to lower:

Some rather unusual sounding bells on this crossing in Slovakia.


This mechanical bell on a manually operated crossing in Poland sounds rather weak...

One of the bells here doesn't really ring at all, and just makes a clicking noise instead:


This Safetran mechanical bell also just clicks:

Strange way the gates are mounted! Seem's to be mounted from the top part of the gate!
