Re: Some flat sounding bells
The mechanical bell heard at the crossing towards the end of this video sounds like a cowbell:
You can hear it pretty well starting about 21:15 in the video.

Ain’t it always the safetrans... that particular one reminds me of Cherry Hill in PA.
Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Re: Some flat sounding bells
The Safetran mechanical bell that was here was extremely flat:
As you can see in the last clip though, the bell has since been replaced with a GS Type 2.
A WCH mechanical bell at 1:05 in this video sounds pretty bad as well:

Re: Some flat sounding bells
In the third video of this crossing in the below video, the GS Type 1 sounds a bit off when it starts, likely due to the rain at the time:

The Safetran mechanical bell here sounds like it's just about dead:
