Re: Some flat sounding bells
I personally think that in the case of the Type 1s in Michigan, it might have something to do with the climate and how the bells there are required to ring while the gates are down.TrickyMario7654 wrote:Probably the same reason why adjusted Type 1's die often in Melbourne...freebrickproductions wrote:Also, I've noticed that GS Type 1s that sound like this only ever seem to crop up in Michigan.

This Safetran Type 2 sounds like something being banged with a hammer.

The Safetran mechanical bell at US 72 in Scottsboro, AL sounds pretty flat:
Also filmed another flat-sounding Safetran mechanical bell yesterday.

I don't know why, but i want to say that's your video, why are you posting it. For some reason.
Here's a ASC E-Bell that has its pitch lowered to make it sound creepy.
Sadly, this crossing no longer exists

Re: Some flat sounding bells
I believe this a flat sounding WCH Mechanical Bell that starts to die. It's now gone as of December 2017.
