If your AirPods are in the case and they are connected to find my iPhone, you can see the last known location of the AirPods and the case.

However, it would help to see if you can connect to your AirPods through one of your devices.
Also, if you have the AirPods Pro 2 case or newer, you can get it to play a sound through find my iPhone because those cases do have speakers.
