Duck Quack Alarm Sound
A mallard duck quacking and flapping off. It is hard to start the day angry when a duck is yelling at you.
The recording
A wild mallard duck quacking, then flapping its wings and flying off. The quacking builds over the first several seconds, so it starts softer than it ends.

Who it’s for
Great for: People who wake up grumpy and need a laugh, and pranking a friend.
Skip it if: You need a loud alarm. A duck is funny, not forceful.

Questions people ask
Do funny alarm sounds work?
They can. An odd sound grabs your attention because it doesn’t belong in your bedroom, and starting the day with a smile beats starting it with a jolt. For heavy sleepers, pair it with a louder backup.
Do all ducks quack?
No. The loud, classic "quack" mostly comes from female mallards. Males make a quieter, raspier sound.
