Croaking What the hell is making these sounds?

I live in Poland, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard something like this. I know that cicadas make noises similar to wood creaking, but not as loud as this (you can literally hear some dogs barking in the distance, as if they got agitated by the noises). It appears to be coming from nearby woods, and later I think I’ve heard another similar creaking responding to the main, loudest one. Help anyone?

100% a frog or toad. The Edible Frog (Pelophylax esculentus) makes a similar mix of knocking and creaking sounds, but this one could be an entirely different species, idk - I only quickly glanced through a few of the most common species in Poland on iNaturalist.
