One if by land

It has been raining quite heavily off & on for the last few days. Last night, when I went outside to have a cigarette, I could hear what sounded like a house alarm going off not too far away. Unlike an alarm, however, it didn't shut off after ten or so minutes, just kept on going. Puzzling

Tonight the same thing. But L. has solved the riddle. "Could it be frogs?" she asked. & that is what it is, hundreds, possibly thousands of them, down by the lagoon, offering up their croaking to each other, to the night.
