Default do frogs cry at night? (j)

my question is:
a) anyone with the same experience?
b) do frogs cry this loud at night?
c) and what are measures to get rid of the frogs?

Yes, bullfrogs talk ALL summer long, ALL night long...
Yes, frogs are courting, the one with the most obnoxious croak and most
impressive vocal sack gets the female. Males can be very focused this way
(speaking of the mother to two teenage males).
and no, not really much you can do to get rid of frogs.

You can try moving the frog spawn out of your pond as frogs who grow up in your
pond are likely to return next year. And you can try catching the frogs
(spotlight them at night) and remove the courting couples.
Remove spawn and frogs to a nearby natural body of water.
But more frogs will come.
What works is ear plugs, running a fan at night for 'white noise' or filling in
the pond.
