Vibrations from the trackpad of the 13" MBP 2015

Hello, when I was in a local Apple store testing out the keyboard of the MBP 13" 2017, I noticed that when my thumb was pressing the trackpad while dragging an object in Pages using my index finger, there were vibrations from the trackpad. What is that? Do the 15" version also has this "feature"?

Sounds like some sort of static from the electric charge into the laptop.

It only happened when I dragged in Pages.

So, it's some kind of Force Touch (haptic) response, then?

I think what DeltaMac said is correct. Have a look here:

Yeah if you’re dragging or resizing things you get a little feedback from the Taptic Engine when you reach a midpoint or size an image to the width/ height of the page etc
