In the Find My app on your Mac, you can play a sound on an Apple device to help you find it. To play a sound on a device, you must add the device to Find My before it’s lost.

You may also be able to play a sound on each AirPod and the charging case. See Locate AirPods in Find My in the AirPods User Guide.
