Provide the login detail that associated with your lost or stolen Android Device, and then you will be redirected to an interface that almost looks like Google Map.
In the Map, you will see a blip on the map which shows the current location of your Android device. If the device is located near to you, the Ring function you see on that page can help you to ring the phone with maximum volume possible even in silent mode, thereafter finding the the phone will be simple.
