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.
Gently vibrate trapped water, earwax, and debris out of your box using calibrated sound waves.
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.
A speaker box that has developed a rattle sounds convincingly like a failing driver. Distinguishing them takes a couple of minutes and can save an unnecessary repair.

Enclosure rattles are frequency-specific. They appear at certain notes and vanish at others, because a loose panel resonates at its own natural frequency rather than across the range. Driver damage is broadly present — it affects everything, getting worse as volume rises.
Play a slow frequency sweep. A buzz that appears in a narrow band and then disappears is the enclosure. A buzz that grows steadily with volume across all frequencies is the driver.
Before opening anything, pick the speaker up and hold it in the air while it plays. A resonance that disappears was the table, shelf or whatever was in sympathetic contact — not the speaker at all. This is worth doing first because it costs nothing.
Ported enclosures produce airflow noise at high volume with bass-heavy content — a chuffing rather than a buzz. That is normal behaviour at the design limit, not a fault. Reducing volume or moving the speaker away from a wall usually resolves it.
Acoustic cleaning addresses obstruction in a speaker cavity. An enclosure fault is a mechanical looseness in the box, and running tones through it will make the rattle audible but will not fix it. This is a case for a screwdriver, not a tone.

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.
