Why does a cell phone vibrate?
Well, the explanation is a simple one (no, there’s no dancing little man inside of your phone): it is caused by a tiny motor, like the one pictured below, with an offset weight attached to it. When your phone rings, the motor engages, spinning the weight and causing the vibration.
How does a vibrating string make sound?

The frequency at which these air molecules vibrate is equal to the frequency of vibration of the guitar string. This pressure wave consists of compressions and rarefactions.
