O.o Is this guy deceived or deceiving?

Sorry about this...no offense meant, but I had to ask.

See link;

This guy in the video is going over the cons of having ducks. And one of the big ones is he goes over loudness.

In this vido, he says the call ducks are quiet, and the other normal non-muscovy ducks are all really loud. Confused. Mine aren't loud. That guy makes it seem like they are blaring loud. And while he's saying that they are all super quiet in the background, at the time he's saying that, which confused me. But then after complaining about how loud they are, he and this other woman in comments start talking about geese. But geese are supposed to be much, much louder than ducks. So how is it he's telling people ducks are so loud, but hey you might like geese, in terms of comments? (Granted he didn't go into it much with the comments about geese.)

He said good things about muscovies. The muscovy people will be happy.

But then he said the call ducks were the quiet ones. And many of you in comments to threads I did told me call ducks were the loud ones.

Or could it be he's just go so many ducks, that after going past a certain point, the group energy makes them go nuts and go loud then?

Or, another thing to consider, my ducks are only about just under 10 weeks old, and aren't reproductive age yet. Could it be that mine will get louder when their reproductive able age period is reached? Mine are only loud for about 30 seconds when they see me coming to the pen to feed them. Then they shut up as soon as they are fed. Then they get quiet. (I'm really, really hoping they'll stay that way. Will it?)

I want to figure this out before I have my own problems, and if possible avoid them. To me noise is a problem. I had thought I was in the clear, but I don't want to take a chance that I'm missing something.

If my ducklings/ducks are 9.5 weeks old and not really making much noise, is that likely to change much, from how they are already?

Edited in later;

I also realized the neighbor's dog is on the other side of the fence less than 15 feet away from my ducks. And the other neighbor has a kennel of at least 6 dogs only about 10 feet from that; the 3 properties have 3 corner thing going near each other. I wonder if the dog proximity may influence making them quieter also? The one dog even scares me and I'm not even a duck.

Here is the thing about YouTube. Many people will state things based on their own experience. Call ducks are in general the loudest of the breeds. But that being said you will find quiet ones every now and then.

with many other breeds they will almost always have moments of loudness. My first set of Welsh harlequin would have 3 minutes intermittent throughout the day where they would quack loudly back and forth. In my experience with ducks the males have been extremely talkative (as in rarely are not talking) than my girls.

mating season will be louder just like with most animals. But always remember every duck has its own personality. So while someone might get loud Pekins another might get one that hardly ever makes a peep.

I just watched the video twice and I don't think he said "call" ducks are loud. He had just started talking about muscovy females making a peep noise and then went on to say the ("cow"?) ducks hardly making any noise at all and have knots on their head like a turkey" and I believe he might have said the "cow" ducks although I'd never heard that term for male ducks and it doesn't make much sense to me. His accent is pretty strong so maybe I'm wrong.
