Would littler frogs make a different sound?

You are asking for the ONOMATOPOEIA. Onomatopoeias are words used to represent sounds or to refer to a sound.

The Spanish onomatopoeia for the sound of the frog is "croac".

BTW: Some people have said CROAR. But that is not the sound of the frog. 'Croar' is the word used to call the sound of the frog. Not a representation of the sound itself.
For example: the sound the dog makes is called "bark". The sound itself is represented by "bow-wow".


An example with the frog:

Me desagrada el croar de las ranas (I hate the croaking of the frogs)

La rana hizo: "¡croac!". (The frog went: "Croak!")

The verb is called 'croar', it's quite similar to the English word, isn't it?

I think frogs start croaking when they get adult age...

As it was said above, we say "croar", and it is an onomatopeyic sound, it is to say, that sounds exactly as it is written.
