Bad S3L.

In recent times, the Canadian-tuned K5HLs heard on new GE units don't sound the correct D minor chord, or sound a dischord.

The American-tuned K5LLA hasn't fared much better, sounding various dischords other than the intended dischord.

And new locomotives already have horn problems.

BNSF ES44DC #7729 has a K5HL

with 2 bells silent.

Also, a S-3L that should be replaced.

Mike, you've gotten videos with horns like that twice.
One was in Flagstaff in 1997 at Enterprise Rd,
The other was in Banning, CA at 22 St. in 2005.

Bad K5LLA

S3L or S1L?
