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.
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.
Real-world blockages are usually mixed — some liquid, some debris. Each responds to a different waveform, so a single setting only ever solves half the problem.
For a complete overview, see how diaphragm travel relates to pitch.
Water is held by surface tension, a cohesive force with a breaking threshold. The best attack is maximum displacement concentrated at one frequency near the driver's resonance. When that threshold is exceeded the film fragments all at once — which is why water often clears in a single cycle.
Dust is held by static charge and mechanical wedging, which has no threshold. Worse, a steady oscillation lets particles settle into a position where they stop being disturbed. A sweep across 120–400 Hz keeps the motion changing so no stable position exists. Dust needs four or five passes where water needed one.
Damp fibre compacts into a dense mat that vibration cannot move. Running the dust stage while the grille is still wet presses that mat further in rather than pulling it out — you can actively make the debris component harder to fix by attacking it too early. Two to four hours of drying in moving air converts an intractable problem into an ordinary one.
If the muffling appeared suddenly after a splash, it is liquid — stage one alone usually resolves it. If it developed gradually over months with no water involved, it is debris — skip straight to the sweep. The two-stage approach is for the mixed case, which is the most common but not the only one.
A sudden step change in clarity means liquid released. A gradual improvement across several passes means debris shifting. Noticing which one you got tells you what was actually in there.
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.
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.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
