In this blog post, I’ll explain what I discovered, the pros and cons of the sound the case makes, and other potential solutions I came across while researching. So if you’re wondering whether or not your AirPods case can make a sound, you’ll want to read on!

Only the AirPods Pro 2 case or newer can make a sound. However, you can pair your AirPods with find my iPhone which will allow the AirPods to play a sound and be tracked. If you always leave your AirPods in the case when not in use, you will be able to easily find the case as long as your AirPods are connected to find my iPhone.

Only the AirPods Pro 2 case or newer features speakers inside the case itself. All previous generations of AirPods cases do not feature speakers and so cannot make a sound.

Important! When AirPods are inside the case, they get turned off and cannot make a sound.
