The mechanical bell closer to the camera in this video sounds flat:
They/Them for me, please.

One of the WCH mechanical bells at the first crossing seen in this video sounds rather flat, I'm guessing due to it being a bit frozen:
They/Them for me, please.

A Safetran(?) mechanical bell heard at 0:58 in this video sounds rather flat and rough:
They/Them for me, please.

The near WCH e-bell in this video is making quite an unusual sound:
They/Them for me, please.

Another bad sounding Safetran:
They/Them for me, please.

The bell on this crossing sounds very weak, most of the sound is just the motor trying to hit the bell's gong. As of 2016 i believe that the bell has been replaced.
