The short answer is "yes", but that's no fun. The good folks at The StraightDope went to absurd lengths to obtain scientific confirmation of this fact.

The article is here: Is it true a duck's quack won't echo?

Who says science is boring?

"As for language, almost everything goes now. That is not to say that verbal taboos have disappeared, but merely that they have shifted somewhat. In my youth, for example, there were certain words you couldn't say in front of a girl; now you can say them, but you can't say 'girl'."

I live in Lansing (or just outside of it) Maybe I should take a Duck to E. Lansing HS and see if it really works.
