How can I keep the air tag in my bike silent?

I have an air tag on my bike at my beach house in NJ. I am home in Pa. If some takes my bike and hears the sound they can find the air tag and take the battery out. what good is the air tag? How can I keep it silent?

Is Airtag effective if hidden in metal, aluminum bike frame? Thinking of getting a small rubber plug that hides an AirTag in the front fork of a mountain bike. so it's surrounded, except at bottom by metal. Some say effectiveness reduced by Faraday cage effect. Some others say, yes, but it's slight. Don't know much about Faraday cage and bluetooth. Any thoughts, info out there? Thanks.

Management of Air Tags Nightmare I am wondering if there is a way to stop this feature: 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. I see this feature causing so much confusion on forums; why is my air tag beeping?, why is my air tag constantly beeping?, over and over. It seems the above feature plus the air tag beeps if it has been away from your phone too long" are making people wanting to not use air tags (me too). My phone is upstairs, my keys downstairs, why in the hell do I need a beep when they get close?. If I actually lose my keys, I will send a signal to the air tag to beep then, when I actually need it. My spouse is constantly getting annoyed at every time we leave the house there is beeping in my wallet air tag, keys, etc. If there is not a way to turn this feature off, Apple please let us have more option to control air tags!
