If the screen lights up, that's still sometimes enough to find it.
Or the buzzing of the vibration. At least, that's what I listen for in this scenario. The only time I put the sound on for my phone is when I know there's a call coming that I have to listen for.
Sometimes that's even vibrations are disabled though. Not usually the case, but it's not really silent if it's on vibrate imo anyways.
If I'm waiting for a phone call, I often just turn music on and use that being interrupted to know I'm getting a call.
