Questions

Can I use these toad sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these toad sounds?

Only for four of the eight clips, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "Oak Toad, Scott Allen Davis, CC BY 4.0", "American Toad, florawhite, CC BY 4.0" and "Central Texas Leaf-Katydid, Dan Johnson, CC BY 4.0". The other four need no credit.

Do all toads sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has six of them: Oak Toad, Southern Toad, American Toad, Central Texas Leaf-Katydid, Fowler's Toad and Cane Toad. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
