A Safetran bell earlier in the video also sounds a bit flat.

Recorded a flat-sounding Modern Industries bell in Springfield, FL yesterday. Will post the video when I'm back up in Huntsville next week.

This is the crossing for anyone curious:

The yodalarm on the right side of the crossing sounds really sick, while the one on the left is dead.

This crossings yodalarms speakers are blown.

Not quite a bell, but here's an alarm over in the UK that starts out rather fast and then goes into a completely flat tone:

I found out that WRRS Mechanical Bell I recorded up near Franklin, Kentucky sounds rather flat.

A flat sounding WRRS bell in Ybor City, Florida.

Also a flat sounding Safetran one not too far away.
