Show HN: The Duck Pond — a real-time duck audio synthesizer

Why it matters for readers: It's a fun, tangible example of how software can generate realistic animal sounds without recordings.

  • The project is a high-quality duck audio synthesizer named The Duck Pond.1
  • All quacks are synthesized live rather than played from recordings.1
  • The demo simulates a small flock: three hens, two drakes and two broods of ducklings.1
  • Sound is spatialized so you hear each quack from the listener’s position on the bank.1
