Just like you can set off the sound of an Airtag to find it, there needs to be a way to set off the sound a Tile so you can find it.
There should be a way to label Airtags and Tiles. Right now, you can turn off individual Airtags and Tiles ability to set off the automatic scanning notification but if there was a way to label these then you could use the AirGuard app as a replacement to the Tile app. People would not have to use the spyware Tile app to find objects attached to a Tile. People would also not be forced to be part of Amazon's mesh network just to use Tiles. The Tile app forces all phones with it to bluetooth relay Amazon's packets. They can instead:
```
 a)  Scan for Tiles using AirGuard.   

 b)  Find the Tiles they previously named.

 c)  Set off the alarm sound to find the location of the Tile.
```
