Not quite a bell, but here's an alarm over in the UK that starts out rather fast and then goes into a completely flat tone:

Re: Some flat sounding bells
I found out that WRRS Mechanical Bell I recorded up near Franklin, Kentucky sounds rather flat.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
A flat sounding WRRS bell in Ybor City, Florida.
Also a flat sounding Safetran one not too far away.

For clarity, Ybor City is not a city on its own; it's a part of the city of Tampa.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
Not that flat, just rough sounding. And that's an NEG e-bell, not a General Signals one. Lights were upgraded to LED as well.dan the ca railfan wrote:a rather flat sounding us&s teardrop bell in oxnard ,ca
