This GS E bell on the KCS Heavener Sub sounds like its trying to emulate a Westinghouse Hybrid bell. Crossing in question is at 15:41. GS Type 1 possibly?

The signal shown in the video looks to be newer and the bell on it's a GS Type 2, so I'm gonna guess the bad bell there's a GS Type 2 as well. Or at least supposed to be one, lol.

Oh wow, wonder how that happened? Something jammed-up in the gong, maybe?
At least the one on the crossing in the thumbnail sounds rather nice still, lol.

Another quite flat Safetran bell:
EDIT: This mechanical bell in the Neatherlands in the first clip also sounds very flat:
As shown later in the video, the bell in question has since been replaced.

Major TLC needed on these poor Safetran Hybrids.

The GS Type 1s here have that sound to them caused by moisture:
