Oh right thanks, best kill the frequency I give the ducks mealworms then, don't want to cause that.
She has started the quacking since being a mum but she's only started this really in the past 3-4 Months, She didn't start it straight away.
The ducklings hatched in March but they were hand raised by us and they were only mixed in with the adults when they were about 6 weeks old.
Ducklings - now ducks have been living with the 'parents' since Late april
Mother duck started kicking off 3-4 months ago

So now that we have established the ducks are not going to get any quieter and you do not want to rehome them, it is time to sit down with your neighbor. Invite them over for a meal or at least a snack and discuss the situation with him/her. Find out what exactly is the problem and do not settle for "the ducks are noisy". Is there a specific time where its a huge problem? Does he/she have young children napping etc. Until you determine the exact, specific issue it will be difficult to determine a course of action. Share with the neighbor how important ducks are to you and how they are such a big part of your lives. Show them the duck run and all the effort that went into it. Make them see that they are integral to your happiness, otherwise you become "that" neighbor who has a flock of annoying ducks.
Invite the neighbor over and find out if there is something in particular that is driving him/her nuts and help her understand how much the ducks mean to you. Most of the time there is a root cause that is then covered up by "your animal is noisy".
