Quick answer
Yes, frogs can make a high pitched noise when attacked.
Further
information
Common frogs do not have many defence mechanisms, other than to
try and hop away quickly. If they are picked up or cornered by a
predator they will sometimes let out a high pitched 'scream' to
try and scare they predator off. This does not necessarily mean
the frog has been harmed.
Common toads are slightly better protected as they produce a
toxin in their skin which makes them distasteful to predators.
As they do not move as quickly as frogs, if they are attacked
they will puff themselves up to seem bigger and less edible!
Occasionally newts have been known to make noises but this is
not common.
