Could it be, perhaps, you don't recognize the sound? )

I don't know what green frogs sound like, but when I had a Bull Frog it
took the longest time for me to realize it wasn't my neighbor out at 10pm
using an old fashion foot-push edger. It was the BF making that
nois...ah... song. ;o) ~ jan

Dang Joe...
If you wanna hear frogs a singin, come to my house on any spring evening.
The noise will run you back into the house. It's terrible, thousands of
little whistles and chreeps and honks and .... *rolling her eyes* .. it's
just too much.

Though now that I think of it, since the weather has warmed, we don't hear
them that much unless it rains these days. Could be that the birds and
snakes have reduced the population.

Just kidding, in case it's not clear. ~ jan )

Joe...What color are your green frogs throats? Reason I ask is at my pond
all the males (yellow throats) do the singing and the females (white
throats) just sit and listen. If you do have males maybe they just require a
little time to adjust and feel comfortable enough to mate.

Posting for K30a who is on vacation but can google RP from her daughter's
computer:

k30 said, from the wilds of southern oregon:
that there may be two reasons why op's frogs are mute.
- they may be female, female frogs don't croak for mates
- if his temperatures aren't right frogs don't think about mating, cold
spell, too dry, too hot,
