I've never heard mine make any noises, but i have heard ACF's make noises.

My frogs used to make noise all the time. Its pretty normal. Also, if i remember correctly, only males have the ability to make noise.

Technically neither the African Clawed Frogs, African Dwarf Frogs, or the Surinam Toads can make any sounds at all seeing as how they have no vocal chords, but they sort of just defy the laws of nature and make noises anyways.
