phone vibration

Pocket tremor notification

Phone vibration is the buzzing or humming a mobile phone produces to signal incoming calls, messages, or notifications without audible sound.

The feature allows users to receive alerts discreetly—in meetings, theaters, or quiet settings: I felt a phone vibration but ignored it.

Also called vibrate mode or simply vibrate: Put your phone on vibration.
