Stop. If three cycles produce no improvement at all, the cause is not blockage. Check the symptoms on our guide to when a sound tool will not help, and have the device inspected rather than continuing to run cycles.
Tap the button below. It plays a low‑frequency sound that vibrates the speaker and pushes trapped water and dust out of the grille. Turn your volume up to about 80%.
💡 Point the speaker downward so gravity helps the water escape. Repeat 2–3 times if needed.
Select your issue and run the appropriate fix cycle to restore your speaker audio in about a minute.
Dry the outside of your phone first.
Let gravity help pull the water out.
Ensure audio plays through the phone's internal speakers.
Never use earbuds. Turn volume up, but 100% isn't required.
Our tool is designed to target the three most common speaker issues using precise acoustic frequencies. Whether your phone took a dive or just sounds muffled from pocket lint, here is how we fix it.
Clear trapped water from your phone in about 60 seconds. The steady 165 Hz vibration physically pushes trapped liquid out of the speaker mesh.
A steady 165 Hz tone — the sweet spot for maximum diaphragm travel — physically pushes trapped water out.
Use our deep clean mode to act as a dust remover. Sweeping low frequencies shake loose stubborn dirt, sand, and lint.
Sweeps across low frequencies (120–400 Hz) to shake loose lint, dust and stubborn droplets the single tone misses.
Act as a volume booster for muffled speakers. Clear out blockages to restore heavy sound, loud bass, and crisp audio.
A clean 440 Hz reference tone so you can hear whether your speaker sounds clear again after cleaning.
Perfectly safe. These are ordinary frequencies your speaker already plays during music. The tool never exceeds normal listening levels — it just concentrates the energy at the frequency range where diaphragm travel is greatest.
Larger numbers imply more power in most contexts. In speaker cleaning the relationship runs the other way, and it is worth understanding why.
For a complete overview, see what to do when a speaker gets wet.
What moves water out of a speaker is how far the diaphragm travels each cycle, not how fast it vibrates. For a given drive level, travel falls as frequency rises. At 150 Hz a small driver moves a comparatively large distance. At 10,000 Hz that movement is measured in microns — audible, but doing no useful mechanical work on anything sitting in the cavity.
They sound impressive and they cannot be disproved by listening. A user cannot tell whether a file labelled 10,000 Hz contains that frequency, and cannot easily tell whether the failure to clear their speaker was the frequency or the blockage type. That combination makes the category easy to game.
Roughly 120 to 400 Hz, with around 165 Hz a practical default for smartphone drivers. Not because 165 is magic — it is an average across devices whose resonant frequencies vary with diaphragm mass, suspension stiffness and cavity volume. A sweep across the band is more reliable than any fixed value because it does not assume your device matches the average.
Measurement. High frequencies are attenuated most by mesh obstruction, so a 10 kHz tone reveals blockage clearly. Play it before and after cleaning — the difference is more obvious than with music. It diagnoses; it does not treat.
Anything advertising above 20,000 Hz. That is beyond human hearing and beyond what phone speakers reproduce, so nothing audible plays and nothing moves.
Stop. If three cycles produce no improvement at all, the cause is not blockage. Check the symptoms on our guide to when a sound tool will not help, and have the device inspected rather than continuing to run cycles.
No. The frequencies used sit inside the range your speaker already reproduces whenever you play music, and the tool runs at moderate volume rather than maximum. The one genuine caution is earbuds: never run ejection tones into in-ear devices while you are wearing them.
Thirty to sixty seconds per cycle, repeated two or three times with short pauses. Running it continuously for many minutes adds nothing once the accessible liquid is out, and only heats the voice coil.
No. Around 70 to 80 percent is the practical sweet spot. Maximum volume on a restricted diaphragm produces distortion rather than more displacement, and adds avoidable stress to the driver.
No. Rice is a poor desiccant — open moving air dries a device faster — and its starch dust migrates into the charging port, microphone holes and speaker grille, which can create a second problem on top of the first.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
