Duck quacks do echo.
It is a scientific myth that a duck's quack does not echo. Research has shown that a duck's quack does echo, but it is hard to hear because it is difficult to distinguish the quack from the echo.
There are several reasons why it is difficult to hear the echo:
- Echoes are produced after loud noises. Ducks quack very softly, so the reflected sound is difficult to hear.
- A reflecting surface is needed to hear an echo. Ducks tend not to live near reflecting surfaces such as cliff faces or buildings. An echo could be heard more readily if the duck quacked whilst flying past such as surface.
See the related links below for more information on the experiments conducted to prove that a duck's quack does indeed echo.

What does a duck do that doesn't echo?
is a common myth that a ducks quack does not echo, however this is untrue. The University of Salford have proved that a ducks quack echoes by using a reverberation chamber. There are a number of explainations for why this myth has arised. One is that the echo of a ducks quack is usually too quiet to hear because they quack too quietly for the reflection of the sound to be heard. Another possible reason is that ducks don't quack near reflecting surfaces

When he was little, his mom used to call him ducky and so by saying that he has his mom's hope..
