I am extremely disappointed in the volume range of the AirTag. It cannot be heard from one room to the next. It's advertised to be handy locating lost luggage in an airport. ?? Practically useless in providing help for a handicapped husband to find his cane at home, much less anywhere else.

I just got the iPhone 15 and it guides me directly to the object. My wife has an iPhone 8 and it doe not. So that’s probably the difference
Thanks, Steve. I read somewhere on here to place the AirTag with the Apple facing down and that did help increase sound.
It does give you a precise location..
The weird chirping sounds like it’s coming from all around. Part of it is my hearing I’m sure, but I can’t stand it.
Apple doesn’t care about this problem because they’re still coming out with newer AirTags and people are complaining about it still. However, if you click the find nearby button instead of the play sound button and walk around it is showing you where you are in relation to the AirTag and you can actually walk to it and find it. That has been helpful for me several times. I do resent paying for three or four of these and them not working correctly as far as being able to hear them at all.
Thank you!!!
To make my AirTag sound louder
Thank you! So much more usable than it was when the white surface was buried in the holder. Now I can way more easily find my keys when I misplace them in the condo. :-)
I doubt it is possible to increase the volume with the existing hardware, but maybe I'm wrong. Use Feedback - AirTag - Apple to share your thoughts with Apple.

insert The air tag WHITE SIDE facing out not Apple logo. Helps a bit but a long way to go. But it does help!
Insert the Air Tag with the WHITE SIDE SHOWING NOT THE SIDE EITH TGE SHINY APPLE LOGO face up.
It helps but definitely should be much louder !
Another thing to do is to locate the device first. As you get closer to it the sound will be a bit easier to hear.
definitely still needs a lot of improvement !
My cat - I call her Spirit Cat… cause she just seems to disappear and maybe… comes out when I shake the treats! Turning the AirTag around on her collar -and making white face out… it’s louder. Good idea! She does look around too. “Where is that sound coming from?” If she could talk.
Louder pinging sound.
