There are several ways to spell the sound a frog makes. The most common spelling is 'ribbit.' Sometimes, when referring to the sound a bull frog makes, the word 'croak' is used to refer to the deep, throaty, cracked groan bullfrogs make.

  • Ribbit or a croaking sound.
  • Different species of frogs make many different kinds of calls. For example, many toads make long (30 seconds or more) high-pitched trills. On the other hand, bullfrogs make loud bellowing sounds. Green frogs sound a bit like a banjo string being plucked.
  • The sound made by a frog is usually referred to as a croak.
  • clucking
  • Frogs of different types can croak, chirp, trill, squeak, groan, and many other sounds.
  • They make chirps and croaks, which can be long, short, or in bursts, and vary in low to high pitch.
  • It varies. Some frogs make a hissing noise, male-fire bellied toads bark, some green tree frogs quack. Of course we think they croak or ribbit.
  • They vary in length, how many bursts, and pitch.

Frogs make many different sounds. Some are high pitched 'peeps', some are high-piched trills, others sound like clucking chickens, bleating sheep, or tubas.

There is only one frog in the world which makes the Ribbit sound - that's the Pacific Tree Frog, a tiny North American frog which grows to a max of 2" long. The sound it makes was adopted by Hollywood/Disney - hence the popularity and misconception.

They make either long, burst, or short noises varying in pitch. People often refer to it as a "croak" or "chirp." I have even heard someone calling it "jug-o-rum." The sound they make is their mating call.
