1. Guessing you have a 2nd phone, call yourself.

Listen for the ring tone.

2. If it was actually a smart phone it would call you

If it was really smart phone it wouldn't have gotten lost in the first place.

3. If it's an Android phone, You can use Google's Find My Device, logged in to the phone's Google account.

Apple has something along the same lines, but I have no experience with it.

If the phone is powered on and location is enabled, Find My Device will give a rough idea.
It can also tell the device to ring continuously for several minutes.
If the phone is actually lost, the remote factory reset option is also there.

5. My family all have the Life360 app on our phones

Its one of those track your family members things. Kinda dystopia (but what isn't these days?).

It's best use though is finding a lost phone. Last week, instead of revisiting all the places I went that day, I just asked a family member to look at the app and tell me where it said I was.

It's not going to tell you what room your phone is in but it will tell you the address
