Every time I pick up my backpack or my wallet or my keys I get a audio signal coming from the AirTags it happens one to two times a day is there any setting that would allow me to turn off the audio signal

Every time I move something that is connected to AirTags it makes an audio Noise is there a setting that will allow me to shut that feature off so that if something is picked up it will not make a signal out loud

Hi Tyestix,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. The sound you're hearing is a built in security feature that cannot be disabled.


• To alert people nearby, any AirTag separated for a period of time from its owner will emit a sound when it's moved. If you find an AirTag after hearing it make a sound, you can use any device that has NFC, such as an iPhone or Android phone, to see if its owner marked it as lost and if you can help return it. 


You can see more about that here: What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag, Find My network accessory, or set of AirPods is with you


Thanks
