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.
Cleaning tools offer different waveforms, usually without explaining them. Each does something mechanically distinct, and matching the waveform to the blockage matters more than most settings.
For a complete overview, see the physics behind the tone.
Best for liquid. A steady sine near the driver's resonance produces maximum sustained diaphragm travel. Because breaking surface tension is a threshold event, concentrating all the energy at the most effective frequency is exactly right. This is what most water-ejection tools default to.
Best for dust and for unknown drivers. Traversing 120–400 Hz does two useful things: it passes through whatever your particular driver's resonance happens to be, and the constantly changing motion prevents debris settling into a stable position. Slightly less peak excursion than a well-matched fixed tone, considerably more reliable when you do not know the device.
Best for stubborn or partially cleared blockages. Short bursts with gaps produce repeated starts and stops. Each restart applies peak acceleration from rest, which can dislodge material that a steady oscillation has stopped affecting. The gaps also let loosened debris resettle in a new position before the next burst hits it from a different geometry.
Marginal. Playing several frequencies simultaneously spreads the available power across them, so each gets a fraction of the drive. The diaphragm's motion becomes complex rather than a clean full-travel stroke. It sounds more sophisticated and generally performs worse than a well-chosen single tone or sweep.
Adhesive contamination — oil, wax, dried sugar — does not respond to any of the four, because vibration applies mechanical force and adhesion is not a mechanical bond. If three cycles across two different waveforms produce nothing, the blockage type is the issue, not the setting.
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.
