    Default Pacman Noise Level

    Hi,

    I am new to the forum and am looking into getting my first pet frog. I'm still in the research stage and am looking at a few types of frogs. I am really interested in pacman frogs and think that I would enjoy having one. However, I live in an apartment and cannot have a frog that might upset the neighbors. From searching previous posts about pacman calling, it seems like a male pacman call will likely be loud enough for the neighbors to hear and possibly find objectionable. I have looked up pacman frog calls on youtube but am having a difficult time telling exactly how loud they really are from the videos.

    For those that have male pacman frogs, am I correct that their call would be loud enough for the neighbors to hear through the walls? Thank you for your help.

    They can be loud, but they don't call all the time and you won't know whether you have a male or female until the frog reaches 2.5" to 3". Its honestly not that much different than if someone has a dog that barks occationally in an Apt.

    I think it also depends on the frog. My pac is very quiet when he calls. He especially calls when the pressure drops or we're being too loud when we talk/laugh. My old bullfrog was incredibly loud though. I would say for my frog a good reference would be conversational volume.

    A Pacman calling volume should not be a problem .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I've never even heard my Pacman call.. do they only begin after they reach a certain age? Maybe it's not old enough yet..

    They call when mature, usually around 3.5 to 4 in. snout to vent length .

    And this is only the males, right? Because if not, something is horriibly wrong with Bubba's croaker!
