I believe there is an Accessibility setting on some phones that does this. I can't find it on my Nexus 6P, it may be a Samsung thing.

Some phones do that as a way to help those who can't hear know their phone is ringing. It's typically in accessibility, maybe under call settings. I can't really be of anymore help with no idea what phone you have.
