Most railroad crossings have a bell. Some consider the bell a nuisance, while others think it is vital. This has led to different settings of the bells at crossings.
Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Its better for mechanical bells to not ring the whole time because it makes it last longer.
If it’s on the whole time it will die faster
Check out my Roblox group called Railroad Town Replicators. We have games based in real world towns and we primary make signals. And no I’m not asking for R$ or likes. The one who is too interested in railroad crossing signals but you can’t be too intrested.
