I’ve heard similar reports, but I keep air tags in my kid’s backpacks and the tags never seem to make noises in them.

Maybe because they are in predictable contact with me / predictable routes.

I have an AirTag in my bag and it beeps maybe twice a day for no apparent reason, It'll be in the same room as me, I have my phone with me, and I'm in this same room every day. It doesn't send me the notification the bag is "lost", it just starts beeping.

The difference in experience from user to user is striking.

I found that turning of Bluetooth causes the beeping. I have it turned on and haven’t heard them in ages
