Truly, from the title of this thread I shuddered to think it referred to frogs (Villagers) croaking (dying) in the retention ponds. I am glad it is just about amphibian choruses. I currently reside on a slope above a creek full of frogs. They do indeed croak at night. When I first moved in it kept me awake. After a while the sound faded into the background. I actually enjoy it now and the sound lulls me to sleep.

The sound does affect my house guests which means they usually on stay only a few nights. Thank you frogs!

My yard also attracts mockingbirds. The first one, which had a great voice stuck around for years but must have perished. After a while another one with not as good a call took over. Oh well...

BTW, if you think frogs are bad try geese. Years ago I stayed at a friend's Chesapeake Bay waterfront house on the eastern shore of Maryland. Those birds were unbelievably loud. Couldn't sleep a wink!

Could you purchase one of those "white noise" machines? That might drown out the noise from outside. A couple of years ago I had a different problem....I'd hear birds at night making a lot of noise. That was the mockingbirds marking their territories. Haven't heard them since so maybe the good news is we eventually get used to it. I for one am not marginalizing your question...it is NOT fun to have sleepless, frustrating nights!! Hope you find a solution!
