The gates that lower have their set of bells that stop once the gate is in the down position. Those bells have a ding-ding-ding sound. The bridge bell that sounds during the lift has a ringing sound, kind of like an old telephone.
I think the bell on the bridge just has a mechanical malfunction. Last year it didn’t seem to ring for a couple of months, then it started ringing again for the full lift. This year it has gone from ringing the full lift, to partially ringing, to not ringing at all during some lifts. Considering that the bridge lifts 4500-5000 times a year, the bell might be wearing out and hard to keep working.
