Find My is usually active.
If you mean Find My started trying to locate your Mac, that would be triggered from your Apple Account, or from Family Sharing if you’re part of a group.
If your Apple Account might have been hacked, you’re in trouble, try changing your password and enabling two-factor authentication if not already.

Are you asking about having Find My enabled, or asking about Find My locating your Mac?
Do you have two-factor authentication enabled? (If not, and if you have been re-using a password or a password otherwise compromised, a takeover is quite possible. Again, change your password and enable two-factor authentication if not already.)

Okay.
Next question: Are you asking about having Find My enabled (which is common), or are you asking about Find My actively reporting to be locating your Mac?
was your Apple Account hacked?

Yes I have it enabled. But it was doing the tune for me to find it when you press play sound even though I did not press anything. Must’ve been a glitch.
