Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain how seismic waves can be generated during a solar flare, several of which include a major role for accelerated electrons. To address this question further, we have selected two samples of white-light flares (WLFs): one that has associated sunquakes, and one that does not. We focus particularly on the spatial characteristics of the hard X-ray (HXR) and WL emission, and the HXR spectral characteristics associated with the flares in both samples, including spectral hardness, HXR source size, and total injected electron power. Coupling the determined rate of energy deposition with the area over which the energy is being deposited suggests that in general the acoustically active flares are associated with a larger and more impulsive deposition of electron energy. However, this does not always correspond to a higher WL contrast.
