Imagine your phone is like a little speaker that can make sounds. Normally, when you put it on silent, the loudspeaker goes to sleep. But sometimes, the music takes a secret path, through the phone’s vibrations or other speakers, so it still makes sound even when it should be quiet. It's like whispering behind your back when everyone else is asleep.
Examples
- Your phone is on silent, but the song plays through the earpiece like it's whispering into your ear.
- You're in a quiet meeting and your favorite song starts playing from the side of your phone, even though you turned off all notifications.
