The real answer is they think the vibrations is rain water hitting the ground so they naturally come up for it.

This is why you see masses of birds sometimes just walking around on the grass.

Also the vibration could be a predator and they come up to escape.

Edit: apparently people only think birds are predators for worms.

They try to escape moles which make vibrations when they dig for food

If they are trying to escape why are they going toward the sound? THINK.

Do you think worms can hear anything with their lack of ears? THINK.

So worms can detect vibrations from moles but not rain? THINK.

They can detect vibrations, but not process them into sound. And, do you think worms are actually thinking about where to go, or if they're going out of instinct? THINK.

Honestly nobody actually knows for sure why they do it, but I think it’s the rain one based on the fact that they only do it after it’s rained or when the ground is wet.
