Re: Some flat sounding bells
The Safetran mechanical bell at US 72 in Scottsboro, AL sounds pretty flat:

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.

Here's a flat Dutch railroad crossing mechanical bell.
Sadly, this crossing has now been removed.

Looks like the GS Type 1 at Tracy Road in Hilliard, Florida is starting to have issues of its own. (Skip to 1:23)
The WCH mechanical bell is still dead there.
