Huh? Why would you want a lost device to draw attention to itself? I thought the whole point was that YOU can track it
yourself using the Find My network if you've lost something.
No, that's precisely what Apple
says it should do because it's designed to prevent
unwanted tracking (not theft).

The beeping only occurs AFTER it has been traveling with someone/something while away from you. The OP is simply leaving something behind (intentionally) and it is NOT traveling (in movement) while away from him.
See above. His AirTag isn't in movement and thus cannot possibly be used to stalk anyone.
So, in summary, according to Apple, the only time the AirTag is designed to emit a sound is when you ping it yourself or if the AirTag detects it's potentially being used to stalk someone.
