So I purchased a Ducky 9000G2 with MX blue switches, and when I got it I played around with it and realized the Esc key sounded different from the rest of the other keys.....is this normal?

How different? Like a lower or higher pitch? If so, that's normal. Keys make slightly different sounds on the keyboard depending on where they are. Escape key is isolated by itself, so it usually sounds a little different.

It's lower pitched clicks compared to other keys

Sometimes switches come out of the Cherry factory less clicky. I don't think they're tested for their clickiness, just whether or not they work. There was a run of QFR boards that had a few non-clicky keys and people got butthurt: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40056.0
It's pretty easy to replace the switch. You can even adjust the insides of the switch to make it more clicky if you understand how they work and are good working with small parts.

If its a pitch difference its acoustics due to the fact that the escape key is in a small isolated hole instead of an island.
