[s-cars] was Re: tubo vs super... now: Q about BPV and WFV

[Kirby Smith]

Now I understand why my use of the word "honk" to describe the sound my
old BPV made was a source of confusion.  :-)

Not only do birds of a feather flock together – so do birds that quack
alike. 

British researchers who studied the quacks ducks make have discovered
that the country's feathered friends have distinct regional accents,
according to the Herald Sun. 

Ducks from London make a rougher sound like shouting, apparently to help
fellow birds hear them above the city noise, the paper reported.
Meanwhile, their country kin make a softer sound, the study found. 

The different-sounding quacks were discovered after academics at
London's Middlesex University recorded the calls of ducks at a city farm
and at a tranquil location in Cornwall, southwest England, the Guardian
reported. 

English language lecturer Victoria de Rijke told the paper the London
ducks were "much louder and [more] vocally excitable." 

"The Cornish ducks made longer and more relaxed sounds, much more
chilled out,” she told the paper. "The cockney [London] quack is like a
shout and a laugh, whereas the Cornish ducks sound more like they are
giggling.”
