Answer 3

This is a common misconception.

The only necessity for a echo is that the distance between the source and the place of reflection should be a miniumum of 17m.

The duck's Quack not echoing is only a myth.It has been proved false.This myth was first debunked by the Acoustics Research Centre at the University of Salford in 2003 .

Answer 4

well in order for a sound to echo it has to bounce off of something and already be pretty loud, ducks don't quack very loudly and well aside from the water which they might be on I can't see their quacks bouncing off of much of anything else I mean I guess if you are out there where the ducks are quacking at and you yell loudly enough to hear your own voice echo then you know that it is a good place to hear an echo at, I just think it is going to take a lot more audible noise than the quack of a duck for you to hear an echo, especially over the water, sound does echo off of the water, hmm I have an idea, but you would have to capture a duck of course and hope it makes a quack noise but put it in a cement drain tube that's about a foot or so in diameter, then you will here it's echo, otherwise there is no reason as to why a ducks quack shouldn't echo a sound is a sound
