frog calls

Amphibian mating sounds

Frog calls are the vocalizations male frogs produce to attract mates or establish territory, ranging from peeps and chirps to deep croaks and trills.

Each species has distinctive calls, allowing identification by sound alone.

The term also refers to recordings or guides used to identify frogs: We learned to recognize local species using a frog calls app.
