The voice of the giant bullfrog (P. adspersus) is described as a very deep (low frequency), prolonged (about 1.5+ seconds) "whoop" similar to a mooing cow. The dwarf (P.edulis) has a short "whap" call, higher frequency, much shorter interval.

My frog always sounds close to a human trying to hold back a burp. The first time I heard my male pyxi call I thought there was someone else in my room. (he was about a year old when that happened) He is two years old now and I have only heard him call 3 times since then. He tends to call when he hears crickets. he does not call anymore now that I have him on a nightcrawler diet.
your goober is a cutie. keep an eye out for nuptial pads.
Thank you all for answering
Since I got him he has grown at least four times as much.
I thought I had got him several weeks ago but it was only on December 12th, time flies !!
I did not think that small males made sounds so it confused me alittle.
