Google has silently deployed the Ramping Ringer feature on Pixel 4 and some Pixel 3 devices. For the ignorant, this feature allows your device to vibrate for the first 5 seconds before gradually increasing the ringer volume for 10 seconds. This is the newest addition to the already available “never vibrate” and “always vibrate” options and can be accessed via Settings > Sounds > Vibrate for calls > Vibrate first and then ring.
