Your pond.
Your very own chorus.
A playful sound synthesiser inspired by croaks, peeps and trills. Turn a few knobs, tap a sound pad, or let a whole imaginary pond sing.
These are synthesised sound effects, not recordings of real species. Use our source links below to explore authentic frog calls. Please do not play calls to disturb wild frogs.

Calls can help attract mates, advertise territory or signal distress. Species, temperature and the setting can influence what you hear.
