the American Toad, Fowler's Toad sounds like a cricket on crack:

LOL...we have always had a toad that had hung out around the patio
catching insects attracted to the light. Then the pond came and the
first night of completion he was on it's edge singing away, ahhhhhhh.
Then the second night came he was joined by a few buds and they were
apparently starting their own singing group in need of much practice.
Night three I counted 11 males competing for 3 females and was really
expecting the neighbors to start calling about the noise coming from the
back yard. Last Summer was year two for the pond and more times than not
there was a male singing away and would be more noticeable on the nights
when there was no noise from the backyard.
