Originally posted by StarrmanWell imagine that a duck's quack is such that when it is reflected off a wall and then again off the duck's body it thereby manages by some form of sound alchemy to produce the anti-wave of the first reflection at all locations.

Please elaborate.
(Got to cover all your bases when doing experiments.)
Originally posted by XanthosNZHmm, except that the original wave would already have reached its destination and have been reflected back towards the duck (thus becoming the echo) and would be audible before the anti-wave as you call it (actually just a wave of reverse phase correlation) is even produced. Thus the only way to achieve this would be if the duck's body somehow bent space-time to ensure the original wave and anti-wave appeared at the same time and point.

Starman, did ya seriously ran an experiment to check it 🙂?
I thought that it is a proved statement.
have you ever tried to carry an experimtn with pigs? (my other statement in previous post)
I set out to prove that what most people would determine as orgasm, was in fact a period of muscle spasm related in fact to lactic acid build up from the strain of climax.
I selected a series of 15 pigs at random and as each climaxed, they were instantly frozen in carbonite and killed at two minute intervals. Upon post mortem and blood analysis, it was found that indeed lactic acid build up had caused the potassium concentration gradient in muscles to tip over the balance, sending the pigs into a state of tetany, previously thought to be orgasm itself.
In fact orgasm in pigs lasts only a few seconds as Rebecca Looes can attest to.
Originally posted by Azeri guyNow, now, patience is best in these situations. The truth is too precious to tell every wanderer. More experiments tomorrow perhaps. Until then, be safe in the knowledge that pigs and ducks have made their secrets clear to you. Go in peace.
what about other statements then ... weasel's sex, lepard's roar? any experiments on that?

Actually this is just what i did 🙂
Being a sound engineer, I recorded a duck's quack and then discovered the main frequencies within the noise. Next I set up a reflective environment in my studio's hallway (nice and metallic) at e ...[text shortened]... then a series of smaller reflections appeared indicating an echo.

As for the lion, found a source that quotes 90dB(A) @ 10 metres. This equates to about 29 dB(A) @ 7 miles. So if the ambient noise is low, as it might well be in the middle of the savanna, then yeah, I reckon you could hear him...
More useful insights later.
Edit: Or maybe 32 dB(A) if they chained him in an anechoic room or suspended him in mid air to derive the data...

Originally posted by Moldy CrowIndeed not, we had to employ a variety of methods, the most effective of which turned out to be flicking cigarettes (unlit) at it.
