Replace the weak string with a slightly larger gauge.

Does the string buzz at all? That could suggest string gauge slightly small as Ron says. The bar
is unable to make full contact being elevated by the opposite strings. You could try applying a lot of downward pressure with the bar to see if the sound improves or changes
