Vibrating AlertA vibrating alert is on communications devices to notify the user of an incoming connection. They are particularly common on mobile phones and pagers and are usually used to supplement the ring tone. Two primary uses of the vibrating alert are when a person cannot hear the ring tone (a noisy or environment or through hearing loss) or when they want a more discreet notification. Influence of modern culture The song Vibrate, on the 2003 Want One album by Rufus Wainwright, is centred around vibrating alerts, including the repeated line "My phone's on vibrate for you". Since the advent and popularity of vibration technology in mobile phones there have been some cases of them being used as a vibrator for sexual pleasure.
