Perceptible

Her cell phone vibrates, barely perceptible, but enough to wake her up.

My question is if 'perceptible' goes well with the vibrating of a phone or could you think of better alternatives?

"Perceptible" is good, but Clive is right. Maybe "Her cell phone vibrates—barely perceptible, but enough to wake her up."
