Every call in Chorus is a research-grade recording from iNaturalist whose recordist released it under CC0, CC BY, or CC BY-SA. Chorus streams the file from iNaturalist and shows the recordist and the license. You compare what you hear with those calls yourself.
On 2026-10-02, iNaturalist had 11,237 such recordings across 607 species. This guide includes 627 entries with a recording you can play, covering nearly all of those species plus subspecies filed under their own names. With no place set, the list is the 24 species that have the most of those recordings. After you set a place, the list is the frogs iNaturalist has recorded there.
A single recording is a thin sample of how a species sounds, and some species have only one file here. Gray treefrogs and Cope’s gray treefrogs are a famous pair that even experienced listeners separate with care.
A call you post on iNaturalist can join this guide. Observe a wild frog, record the date and place, name the species, and attach a wav, mp3, or m4a of the call.
Set the sound’s license to CC0, CC BY, or CC BY-SA. New sounds default to CC BY-NC, so change it from the info control on the recording, or set the default under Account settings, Content & Display, Licensing. When another person agrees on the species and the observation reaches research grade, the next library refresh can include the file. A species with no open call here, or only one, expands the guide the most.
