Need bit of advise please. Duck and hen

Hi I have kept chickens and have also kept ducks the hens for the eggs. And I got around 40 drake alsberrys last year for meat .  I am moveing house in June and will get some more stock but there's houses around so shhhhhhhhhh has to be a main thing. .  I know hens make a fair bit if noise when they cluck.  What are female ducks like ? Are they going to be a better idea as they queit ? Any help would be great . Many thanks .

The breed of duck would be Indian runners or crested or kaki campbells

Hens would be standard ISA brown hens  

My ducks can be very noisy for brief periods of time and my chickens as well so I'd say they are about equal.

The ducks go mad at letting out time and the chickens go mad after having laid an egg. My Campbell is really noisy chattering all day and my Cayuga loves the sound of her own voice, but my Blue Swedish girl is very quiet and so is my Appleyard (although I think this is just her as my last Appleyard was a little noisier than this one).

My warren hens love squawking at me if they see me and after laying and I would say that although the warrens may make less noise during the day the noise they do make is more grating from a neighbour point of view. The duck noise is far more pleasant!

I think having a word with the new neighbours explaining that you intend to keep chickens and/or ducks and provided you don't let them out until after 7am the neighbours should be fine with them. Mine only notice the noise when something startles the flock and they all go off on one at the same time and then they just seem worried that my girls are okay so fingers crossed you get good neighbours who enjoy hearing the birds chattering away 

we have five indian runners three of which are female, the males are very quiet sound like they have lost there voice but the females are very noisey I dont think you could keep their pressence a secret from your neighbours though not as bad a cockerals, next door have a couple and they are V loud but I dont mind them at all as we cant hear them in the house so they dont wake us up at 4am if your deeds stipulate no livestock then I wouldnt risk it, at our previous house one of the neighbours had 2 chickens but had to get rid of them because someone complained
