    I don’t because I keep my phone on silent and rely on my smartwatch vibrating instead, and I don’t get phantom vibrations with it

    Vibration “ringtones” should be a thing. Less likely to confuse with phantom sensations and other people’s phones vibrating.

      Like, distinctive vibration patterns.

      Hmm, surely it’s been done. It seems like straightforward good thing.

        I’ve got a thing in my drawer that’ll do that. Doesn’t take calls, though.

          Just imagine if it had Bluetooth so you could use it as a silent ringer though

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_vibration_syndrome

    One of the names given on Wikipedia is a “fauxcellarm” which I love.

    “Researcher Michelle Drouin found that almost 9 out of 10 undergraduates at her college experienced phantom vibrations” so it’s certainly common.
