YES! All sounds echo. This is an urban legend.

Yes, a duck's quack can echo. This was explored on Mythbusters awhile back. What makes it sound like it isn't is the fact that the quack is close to the form of an echo, so it's very hard to pick up the reverb. They were able to isolate the sound enough to show that there was indeed an echo. As others said, any sound can echo with a reflective sound surface.

It's all about a guy and his duck Daisy who experimented to see if the "duck quack cannot echo" story was true.
It's very interesting.

It does in fact. You should check out the show mythbusters. They put that one to the test and got an echo.

NO! When a Duck's Quack opens you will only see bubbles and debre.
