How long have you had the frog? I don't think the noise of the filter will bother him that much, but I'm not sure. It could be the fact, if you just got him, that he's still adjusting to his new home. Give him a few days and I'm sure he'll become comfortable and start eating for you.

Frogs can take a bit to adjust to new surroundings so don't be concerned about them not swimming all over.
This is also not an extremely active species and will spend most of their day sitting on the bottom. They appreciate lots of hiding areas.

The minnows are a problem - the frog will attempt to eat them sooner or later and minnows are not a healthy diet choice.

Think of your frog as a child - you risk spoiling them by letting them be picky about foods. Stick to the frog/tadpole bites and/or Reptomin broken up so they can eat it. The frozen bloodworms should be offered as a treat as most and only after the frog is eating well for a few weeks for you. Skip feeding for a few days then add some more frog/tadpole bites in. Patience is key. When the frog is hungry and less stressed, it will most definitely eat!

Do not be concerned about the filter - there is way too much hype about them and I wouldn't dream of not filtering a tank. It greatly reduces the risk of disease by having cleaner water. Do you know about cycling a filter and the Nitrogen cycle?
