A little chirp sound

[HMI]

I have an AirTag in my car. It has been working fine, and I never heard any sounds from it.

Now - for the last few days - I hear a little chirp sound every time I enter my car, after I’ve been away from it for a long while. The sound only lasts a few seconds, and then it becomes silent again.

I‘ve checked the FindMy app, and nothing seems different than normal. There aren’t any notification, etc.

Does anyone know what this sound means, or what may be happening?

It's possible that the airtag may have gotten too cold - or its battery has. I'd remove it and re-pair it in FindMy with your iPhone - if it starts doing it again, I'd replace the battery. I believe the current firmware is 2.0.61 - I'd also make sure it's up to date (if it's not, I'd bring it back into the house for a few days until it's updated).

Being winter in the norther hemisphere, a lot of our AirTags may be getting colder than their intended operating environment - may cause them to reset.

A couple of reasons:

1. Is the battery dying? Open up FindMy and see what the reported battery status is. Replacing the battery (should be!) easy.
2. Is it too cold/hot? I don't know where you're at, but I know Aus is very hot these days, and the USA is very cold. Could the temperature range be out of tolerance?
