Originally a Warner Bros. sound effect, it made its debut in Gold Diggers of 1935. Later in 1940, The Walt Disney Company used it in Disney cartoons and movies, starting with the Donald Duck cartoon, Put-Put Troubles on July 19, 1940.
The Hollywood Edge added this sound in the Cartoon Trax Volume 1 library in 1992. In 2014, Sound Ideas took over to acquire it after the bankruptcy of The Hollywood Edge.
Today, it is commonly heard in more than 100 pieces of media.
For information about this sound, it is very similar to FROG - SINGLE FROG CROAKING, ANIMAL, AMPHIBIAN from the Universal Studios Sound Effects Library. It shouldn't be confused with FROG, BULLFROG - CROAKING, ANIMAL, AMPHIBIAN 02, FROG - BULLFROG CROAKING, ANIMAL, AMPHIBIAN and FROG - LARGE FROG: SINGLE RIBBITS, ANIMAL, AMPHIBIAN, due to sounding similar.
