A duck's quack doesn't echo,
and no one knows why.
A duck's "quack" doesn't echo because it's resonant/anti-resonant. It is also only a
certain sound that they make that will not echo. The non-echoing sound mentioned is used
for inter-species location, while flying or otherwise. It's true that no one knows why
they would need this ability but it is thought to be a "fluke" of nature. The study of
anti-resonant sound came from the study of mallards. One of the more intriguing aspects of
anti-resonance is the possible use in restaurantes and cars. Restaurantes could use
anti-resonance in private booths to keep them "private". Cars could use anti-resonance to
completely silence the engine. Hope you find this interesting.
23% of all photocopier faults worldwide
are caused by people sitting on them

Lots of duck sounds echo, but one type of quack does'nt, the one explained in the thread. The one used for interspecies location. Least that is what I understood here. I have been known to be wrong on occasion. Mostly just when I'm saying something though.
