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. :Tongue2:

Here's a ASC E-Bell that has its pitch lowered to make it sound creepy.

Sadly, this crossing no longer exists

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.

The flat WCH mechanical bell featured in a video earlier in the thread is still there, along with another weak-sounding WCH mechanical bell at 3:10 in this video:

Sounds like that first one is just hitting some rust inside.
