So, do they only talk to their wielder?
I seem to remember in the Pirate Cave adventure in Northern Wilderness the rune weapons talk to the players like "pick me up", "I can help" stuff like that.

Some will talk, some need to be bonded for a while to talk, and others never talk. It can also depend on alignment capability.

This came up because I'm converting the Catacombs of Dragonwright from the Yin-Sloth book, and there's a rune dagger in there. But it's kind of just off to the side in the Magot arena, not actually part of a treasure trove and easily missed if they dodge the creature and don't search.
So I was wondering if there was any canon on whether or not the dagger would start calling out to whoever enters.
Hmmmmmmm

That's totally up to you. If it helps though, I recall a Rifter about sleeping rune weapons. I don't remember the details though.
