Greetings modesto209,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious if you can use Find My iPhone to have your iPhone play a sound while it's listed as offline and powered off.
The iPhone will play a sound when it powers back on and connects to the internet if it receives the command while it's powered off and offline, as described in the following guide: Get help with Find My iPhone
Cheers!

If you see "Offline," "No location available," or "Location Services Off," your device might be offline for one of these reasons:
- It's powered off, the battery has run out, or more than 24 hours passed since the last location was sent to Apple (if Send Last Location is turned on). When your device is connected to the Internet, you can see the remaining battery in the upper-right corner of the information pane.
- Your Find My iPhone-compatible device or Mac isn't connected to a known Wi-Fi or data network. Wait a few minutes and try again.
- You're in a country or region where we don't offer this feature. This feature might not be available in your country or region due to technical limitations or local law.
You can still play a sound, send a message, issue a lock request, or start an erase of your iOS device with Find My iPhone. Your device receives the command after you turn on your device and connect to the Internet.
Cheers!
