put it on vibrate
Is it correct to say "put it on vibrate" to mean change the mode of the cell phone to "vibrate"? I'd like to know if this sounds natural to native speakers. Thanks.

You can say: "Switch the phone to vibration mode." If you do not want to hear any ring tone, you can say: "Switch the phone to silent mode."
"Put" has the meaning of bringing something into a particular state; in your case, the mode of your phone. Therefore, you can also say "Put it on vibration mode." or "Put it on silent mode." "vibration mode" sounds more natural because it is possible and very common to have a noun placed before another noun in English. (Examples: phone (noun) case (noun) / air (noun) ticket (noun))
