It does echo apparently. Not tested myself but the clever people at Salford have.

"A duck's quack doesn't echo" is a much quoted scientific myth. In spring 2003 it was quoted on Home Truths on BBC Radio 4 and Shooting Stars on BBC 2. You can listen to our sound files on Home Truths by going to the BBC4 web site and "listening again". Recently, Salford Acoustics was the source of the story being presented in the national and international media when we proved that a duck's quack does echo as part of the British Association Festival of Science.

It does! We once tested this by borrowing a duck (with the bill payers permission ho ho) and letting it quack in a court yard. There was a very definite echo.

all depends on where they are. At a lake, nothing will echo. We used to have a duck in our garage (haha dont ask), and it was loud and echoed througout the house

It does echo.
It was tested out in one of the 'mythbuster' episodes.
Just another pointless urban myth
