Random Vibration

I've also encountered this a few times on my pinephone. I just tried taking the back off to check the wires and didn't see any signs of them being pinched by the case.
The first time I encountered the vibration I had tried to open and browse a large (~100MB) PDF file in Mobian running from the SD card. This caused the phone to become laggy, apps wouldn't close, and RAM usage seemed to be continually increasing. After a few minutes of that the phone started vibrating until I powered it off with the power button.
I encountered it two other times while testing how fast the battery drained while watching YouTube videos in Firefox ESR on Mobian installed to emmc. It happened about 35 minutes into a video, and then again after I had restarted and had a video playing for another 15 or 20 minutes. I haven't encountered it at any other point when leaving the phone on or running other programs for longer periods of time.
