My is lost, but my location shows that it is in the correct area. Can I please get a siren to go off? I attempted to use find my iPhone but my phone is not on there. :( Thank you in advanced for your help, it is so much appreciated.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
I see my device in Find My, but it's offline
If you see "Offline," "No location available," or "Location Services Off," your device might be offline for one of these reasons:
You can still play a sound, send a message, issue a lock request, or start an erase of your iOS device with Find My [device]. Your device receives the command after you turn on your device and connect to the Internet.
If you contact your wireless service provider to report your device lost or stolen, they might deactivate your SIM card or account. This turns off service for your iPhone and you won't be able to find, play a sound, send a message, issue a lock request, or start an erase of your iOS device with Find My [device]. However, we'll help you learn how to protect your information.
Your device's last known location is available for one day. If your device is offline or can't connect to Find My [device] for more than 24 hours, you won't be able to see the last known location.

Don'ts
If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to turn on and use your device.
Do's
You may use a web browser to get the Serial Number and IMEI Number. You cannot track using the IMEI number. but you may need it so keep it handy

Log in to https://icloud.com/find. Do you see your phone on the list? Is it online? You can play a sound on it.
I am sorry that you have lost your device.
Understand that you have to locate your own device by yourself using Find My,
I need help finding my device
