Forgive the late post. Male leucs are normally somewhat thinner than the females. As far as the noise factor, dart frogs (and others) filter out "white" noise, and are oriented to hearing mating calls and perhaps some warning signals, filtering out extraneous sounds. It's not that they can't physically hear them, but they are filtered out as unimportant, unrecognizable. Perhaps the calls your are playing may be working the wrong way by intimidating the male rather than stimulating him. It may be actually distracting him, or competing with his own calls to the female. This is just a thought, not meant to be expertise in the matter.
