A toy ball which emits sounds as it is rolled and including a ball body and a plurality of mechanically-operated sound producing tubes carried within the ball body, each sound producing tube including a sound-producing device which moves by the force of gravity, and each sound producing tube lying along a longitudinal axis, in which the axes are transverse to one another so that the sound producing devices emit sound when the ball is rolled along various axes. The ends of the sound-producing tubes are held by sleeves that are molded as integral parts of the ball body. 1. A toy ball which emits sounds as it is rolled , comprising:a ball body; anda plurality of mechanically-operated sound producing tubes carried within the ball body, each sound producing tube including a sound-producing device which moves by the force of gravity, and each sound producing tube lying along a longitudinal axis, in which the axes are transverse to one another so that the sound producing tubes emit sound when the ball is rolled along various axes;wherein the ends of the sound-producing tubes are held by sleeves that are molded as integral parts of the ball body.2. The toy ball of claim 1 , wherein each sound producing tube is a sound tube with a sliding whistle.3. The toy ball of claim 1 , wherein the toy ball includes three sound tubes.4. The toy ball of claim 3 , wherein the axes are substantially orthogonal.5. The toy ball of claim 3 , wherein the ball is generally spherical with six indented areas claim 3 , and in which the ends of each sound tube are located below the ball surface in an indented area claim 3 , to inhibit the sound tubes from contacting a surface against which the ball is contacted.6. The toy ball of claim 1 , wherein the sound producing tubes are entirely embedded within the ball body claim 1 , and in which at least one of the ends of each sound producing tube is exposed to free air.7. The toy ball of claim 1 , wherein the ball body is hollow and is made from a ...
