Well, actually none of these ducks quack. The male Green-winged Teal whistles and the Northern Shoveler male makes a soft snuffling kind of sound. Their females do "quack" a bit but not as distinctively, or to quote allaboutbirds.org, quintessentially as the female Mallard. The Ruddy Ducks, on the other hand, offer up the sound of their wings beating the water as they fly away from me. They make a popping noise too but I can't say I've heard them do it.
