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

At 19:05 there is a crossing with a pretty horrible sounding bell.

Man, I need to get out more and check these bells out.

Here's the crossing, btw:

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

Here is a flat motor bell on a crossing in Germany.

Nah, it's just spoons hitting a glass

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.

The WCH mechanical bell here sounds rather flat:

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!

Here's a GS Type 1 with a pitch problem.
