Find Your Phone When It’s on Silent by Blasting Some Music

If you ever misplace your cell phone nearby, you can always call yourself and follow the ringing. But what if the phone is on silent? Apartment Therapy notes this neat trick that might help: Call the phone, then walk around your house with music playing.

The speakers on your music player (or speakers with long cords) may pick up the buzzing interference that happens when your cell phone communicates to the cell phone tower. Getting closer to your phone, you should hear louder and more interference so you can track down that silent phone's location.

You can use Google Voice to call your phone if you don't have any other means...And for those times when your phone isn't on silent, a white noise ringtone can make it easier to find.
