Is it true that all frog species make a ribbit sound?

No. One reference work states directly that not all frogs make the "ribbit" sound, noting over 6000 species each with a unique voice, which contradicts the universal claim. A dictionary-style entry confirms ribbit is a frog sound but does not support the claim that every species makes it.
