I think a realistic card combined with a well rendered note would be
perfectly acceptable. The submission isn't far off. The flag of the note
should be changed to a more traditional shape.

Other possibilities would be to show a note, an iconic speaker or a sine
wave as graphic printed on the board.

Or to concentrate on the presence of i/o ports, but it would be tricky
to make that clear.
