it would also be the case why the bell in partcular that isn't shown would be the one that sounds dead.
One of them does sound a bit rougher at points though, but far from the worst Teardrop I've heard...

Unrelated, but here's a strange sounding alarm, that hasn't been changed since the late 1980's!
Sadly, it's beginning to sound sicker, here is a video from October 2017.

Here's a video of a few pedestrian crossings in Sweden with some rather interesting signals. One of them has a mechanical bell that sounds like it's on its way out:

A very flat-sounding WABCO Teardrop bell here, along with a rather weak and rough sounding WABCO bell on the other signal:

One of the bells here is dead, and the other one can't even strike the gong properly.
One of the bells here sound rough, but i just love the sound out of the both of them.

This Italian crossing has a couple of very flat sounding teardrop bells...

Crossing has since sadly been upgraded, using that annoying black yodalarm and those ugly Polish-looking gate mechanisms, Lydney Junction was also upgraded too.

The Safetran Type 3 here doesn't sound very happy!

Not quite a bell, again, but one of the alarms at this crossing in Cornwall sounded rather jumpy.
Although as of September 2018, the issue appears to have been resolved.
