do spring frogs violate noise ordinances?

I doubt very seriously that your city ordinance has a clause which prohibits a frog, especially a native species, from croaking in your yard. Nor can they enact one at will to specificly target you and your guest. Your neighbor on the other  hand can be subpoened to court by you to answer civil complaints regarding his actions as well as be carted off to jail by local police provded they can witness his actions or you can provide evidence such as a video tape of him tossing items in your yard or phone company recocords of repeated calls from his number as well as recorded messages  he leaves on your answering machine. You might aloso check with your states Parks and Wildlife Department and see if that visiting frog is covered by any kindof protected species act, which could assist you greatly in getting political pressure placed upon local authorities to impress upon your neighbor the seriousness of hefty penalties he might face should he decide to erradicate the frog.  Dealing with people like your neighbor is one of the few pleasures associated with my profession.

Yes, DO call the police -- and let them deal with the noise complaint -- and the bass IS a problem -- I notice it too (it irritates me a LOT).  Keep calling every time it is turned up.  Sooner or later, they will ticket him and he will have to go in front of a judge and EXPLAIN why he can't stop "Disturbing the Peace".

call the landlord.  Tell him about the problem and if he doesn't do anything about it, you'll sue .. Your rights are being violated.  Look in your rental agreement.  I assure you, there's something in there about noise curfews .. They are in violation fo their rental aggrement and your rights are being infrindged upon.

There is no statewide law concerning that.  That would be a local ordinance and you would have to check with the city or county that has jurisdiction over that area.

Go ahead and call the cops!  The general rule is that if you can hear it from 25 feet or more away, the person making the noise is disturbing the peace (of course, this has reasonable exceptions like construction work, emergency vehicles, and so on).  Ask the police for a copy of the report number, and present a copy of that to the building manager.  Continuing to disturb other tenants like that is usually an evictable offense.

Is a frog's a** watertight?

Birds hear a lot better than we do, and worms moving around in soil make noise that is distinctive. OR, maybe they have Xray vision! :-)

The spotted frogs have declined sharply. They don't know how to avoid fish and bullfrogs. They didn't evolve in an environment where they had to avoid them.\n\nhttp://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/news/oregonian/00/07/nw_51spot27.frame

Do the civil thing and talk to them first.  If push comes to shove, THEN call the police.  I hate noise pollution too.

Seriously, call the cops. It's inconsiderate for them to be having parties on a TUESDAY so late and loud. File noise complaint with your leasing office, or perhaps you can go over and talk to them. State that if they don't keep the music down, you will be forced to call the cops. I live in a townhome too so I know that the noise level echos.

Not unless it's really inflated, and as that only happens when the animal is emitting its sounds (i.e. relaxed and in its natural habitat), you would just puncture it and nothing special would happen. \nThe walls of the vocal sac are really tough and elastic, so it wouldn't be easy.\nAnd why would anyone want to do such a thing?

It used to be thought that if you drank water from a pond that had frogspawn in, a frog could live and hatch out in your throat, which naturally would block your voice. Quacksalvers (that's the traditional English equivalent of snake oil merchants) used to have a scam whereby the quack's stooge used to pretend to be so afflicted; the quack would administer his medicine, lo and behold the stooge would cough up a live frog and "regain his voice", and all the gullible peasants would buy this wonderful cure. For this reason, an obstruction in the throat is known as a "frog".

See this all depends.... if this were in the philosophy section, then it could be debatable.  But alas- it's in the botany section, so yes- it does make a sound.  Friction is created as it falls through the air and hits the ground, and that friction causes soundwaves.  Whether someone is there or not is irrelevant.  Humans can only pick up on a certain range of decibels anyways.  That doesn't mean just because we can't hear it, it doens't make a sound.  It just means that we can't hear it.  People need to get unstuck from themselves and think outside the human box.  "If humans can't.... must not be possible."  Meh.
