We have a very large bullfrog that lives in our outside pond. His sound is very deep and bass-like. For the past 2 nights, we've been hearing what we thought was locusts or some type of bug. Tonight it was so annoying, I took out the flashlight, and found 2 much smaller frogs or toads on the pond calling out to each other it seemed. Very annoying sound and very loud. These don't look like bullfrogs.........they are smaller, brownish, and they have a black looking throat that pops out when they whistled. What are they? And what are they doing?

HA HA, when I think of annoying frogs, I think of cricket frogs. A single cricket frogs sounds much like to marbles being banged together. They are extremely loud for their size and they are the closest thing I can think of to a locust.
However you did not even mentioned where you are from, and determining the species is highly dependent on your location. You can try going to the link provided below, and downloading the individual calls to see what it is that you hear. But these are only frogs native to Virginia, you should be able to search for web sites that have frogs native other states on them.
