Do AirTags only make a sound if disconnected and if moved?

Do I understand correctly, the AirTags only makes a sound if disconnected AND if moved? I plan to leave it in my car, which I park at various spots and sometimes forget where that is, as I sometimes don't use it weeks.

It would be inconvenient, if the AiTag beeps all the time.

I am experiencing the same problem and so is my wife. We have a total of 8 all together and sometimes the airtag wants to re-pair with my iPhone as it did when I first purchased them. Does this mean anyone can take ownership of my airtags? This is a big security flaw if it’s not iCloud locked like all of my other Apple products.


We deserve an explanation for the obvious flaw that renders them very expensive over glorified battery holders.

Mine still do this about every three weeks. They will not make a noise as how they are supposed to operate then in three weeks time they all start chirping. Every time they are moved. The keys sit overnight. In the morning when I move them they chirp. When my dog moves from her nap they chirp. This is consistent with all four of my air tags. There are no new devices that have been introduced into my home. Nothing has changed. They are still all doing this. This is embarrassing as I have one in my vehicle and every time I enter my vehicle it’s such chirping. I have to tell my passengers to ignore it.
