It would have to be loud to prevent a quack-up.

Researchers test different sounds on some 100 volunteers, who find quacking to be more pleasant than cars' normal angry honks.
Definitely unclear on the concept. I'm not honking to produce a symphony. Now get out of my way and stay off my lawn!

Uh, isn't "distraction" kind of the point?

Always was a fan of the classic "Ah-OOH-gah!"

I'm sensing a would-be issue with the vision impaired trying to traverse a cross-walk who hears repetitive quacking as he or she goes along.

Not during hunting season.

This survey was probably funded by AFLAC.

I've always wanted to mount a bazooka on my hood. I'd be OK if it quacked, as long as it got the job done.
And trust me -- no one goes near my lawn.
