Do African Clawed Frogs Make Noise?

The call of Xenopus laevis is a 2-part trill, about 1/2 second, repeated up to 100 times per minute. Males have no vocal sacs and call from underwater during the day and at night. Calls are only faintly heard in the air, if at all.

Why is my African clawed frog croaking?

It's calling for a mate. They do this often as adults but can be triggered by water changes of high pressure fronts. I can't say I have heard of them calling for food before. Black hands and forearms are the signs of a sexually mature male, it's fine.

What does it mean when frogs make noise?

From high-pitched whirring, to a deep “bonk”, or an insect-like chirp, male frogs sing to attract their own kind. Female frogs even have ears tuned into the specific call of their own species, so that they can locate a male of their own species in a chorus of multiple, noisy males.
