Honestly it is kinda hard to tell since the GS Type 3 is rather loud

Here's a pair of very flat WCH Bells on the FEC. I'm surprised that these haven't been replaced yet.

Here is by far one of the most horrible sounding alarms I've heard. (1:54 and 12:10)


Notice how the rate of speed slightly changes and the tone changes in the first clip
In the second clip, the alarm glitches, the tone changes, and on deactivation it glitches very badly!

Since then the alarm has been replaced.

Wow, it sounds like the WCH e-bell there is turned down low! I could hear the mechanical bell's clicking over the e-bell! :Blink:
