Keep hearing a phone vibrate in sitting room

[MacbookHo]

This has happened a few times. In my sitting room, I occasionally hear a mobile-phone vibration sound, like a silent phone just received a notification, but it’s not coming from my phone.

It’s near to the wall joining us to our neighbour’s house, but it really sounds like it’s coming from inside our room. Is there a way of finding it? I tried the Bluetooth “find devices” option but nothing came up. It’s driving me nuts!

Any ideas, anyone?

It’s probably a neighbour. An old neighbour of mine had their phone alarm vibrate every morning and it woke me up like it was inside my room 😡

I hear my phone vibrate upstairs from my lounge so it could possibly be a neighbours.

Who lives in your house?

Neighbor's, I hear our neighbor's alarm in the morning and other phone vibrations. Both upstairs and downstairs. I'm sure if someone had a secret phone they would turn it off or put it on silent.

Thank you! I think it’s probably a neighbour too. The layout of the houses means they could possibly have a table against that wall where they charge things. Possibly.

@Crunchymum Me, two D.C. and my husband. Directly above the bit of the sitting room where the noise comes from is our bed.

Could your DH have another phone? I’d be having a very thorough search on the quiet! Have you mentioned that you’ve heard this to him?

The bluetooth would need to be enabled on the other phone though, I think for you to find it.

Have you checked under your mattress!

Check to see if there is another device on your wifi too.

DH could, of course, have another phone, but I’ve not been suspicious otherwise.

He was in bed when I heard the vibrations.

I haven’t searched. TBH the noise sounded like it was coming from downstairs so my instinct was to check under the sofa, if anything — but I couldn’t be arsed! 😆 m

Checking the wifi is a great idea - thanks.

I'd suspect the neighbour before I jumped to the secret phone conclusion. Phone vibrations are incredibly loud on solid surfaces

I would say it is likely to be the neighbour’s phone. The sound of a phone vibrating on a surface carries surprisingly far considering it’s meant to be silent 😂.

DH’s bedside table is right above where the noise was, and he charges his phone there overnight, so it could very easily just have been his actual, in-plain-sight, phone.

It just sounded more like downstairs.

I’ll see if it happens again tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone!

My fit bit and DH golf watch () also vibrate every time one of us gets a message/WhatsApp/notification, so it could be something else like that, especially if left on the floor of the room above to charge?

I also can hear my neighbours phone vibrate when they leave it on something next to the wall so it also could be your neighbours. Hope you find it!

Thanks @myotherusernameisonholiday

Well next time dh goes upstairs, and you’re downstairs, text him and see if you hear the vibration again. Then you’ll know if it’s his phone or not

Is your husband’s name Walter White?
If so, then yep, it’s his secret second phone.
Run now while you can Skyler.
