A silly old urban legend. A duck's quack echoes just like any other sound.
The trick is getting a duck to quack inside a cathedral or concert hall where you can hear the echo.

Absolutely untrue. A duck's quack will echo under the right conditions.

It DOES echo. It's just an urban legend that it doesn't.
