Your home is usually automatically geofenced, so if you left it there it shouldn't chirp. If you parked your car elsewhere, e.g. an airport lot it was probably chirping while you were gone, but you wouldn't hear it because you weren't there.

oh lol interesting. I wonder how many people I have been annoying with the constant sound. This seemed like a perfect setup, but apparently not.

They only chirp when disturbed (when separated from their paired device). I've got an iPad paired to a set on my keys, no iPhone. If I let the iPad die, eventually the airtag will start chirping when I pick up my keys, but when I'm not touching them they don't chirp.
