Envelopes with recordable and pre-recorded sound

An envelope with an audible signal feature, comprising:

• a) a back panel,
• b) a seal flap,
• c) a first side flap,
• d) a second side flap,
• e) a bottom flap,
• f) a first adhesive layer securing said bottom flap with said first side flap;
• g) a second adhesive layer securing said bottom flap with said second side flap;
• h) a sound module including a sound producing circuit with a speaker, a power source and a sound storage media;
• i) an actuator connected with the sound module to activate the operation of the sound module to produce an audible signal through the speaker;
• j) wherein the first side flap and second side flap are folded inward over a portion of said back panel;
• k) wherein said bottom panel is folded inward over said back panel and over at least a portion of each said first side flap and said second side flap;
• l) an adhesive layer attaching said sound module to the back panel;
• m) a cover panel attached to said back panel and covering said sound module, said cover panel having at least one edge that is not attached to said back panel and which forms an actuator opening defined by said back panel and said cover panel, said actuator opening being dimensioned to permit said actuator to pass therethrough;
• n) a switch for regulating the operation of said sound producing circuit;
• n) wherein said actuator has a first end connected to said seal flap and a second end connected to said switch, and wherein said actuator is moveable within said actuator opening to be inserted into and withdrawn from said switch.
