Do you find this interesting?

Question

Did you know that a ducks Quack is the only sound that CAN NOT be echoed!

Answer 1

Actually, no, it was debunked on Mythbusters season one.
"When examined by an audio-expert, it was found that the echo was "swallowed" by the original quack, due to the very similar acoustic structure between the quack and the echo. Because of this, it may be difficult to tell where the quack ends and the echo begins."

Answer 2

You are wrong.
Panda is correct.
A duck has an echo. All sounds can echo.

A team at Salford University recently did some research to get to the bottom of the problem with the help of willing volunteer, Daisy the duck. They found that a duck's quack does echo, but it is quite hard to hear the echo because of the quality of the quack sound. A sound that fades in and out (like a duck quack) makes an echo which can become mixed up with the original sound being made. This means it is hard to distinguish one from the other.

The other reason the myth may have arisen is because you don't often find ducks hanging around places where you commonly get echoes, like cliffs on a beach, or large cathedrals!
