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 how wet your device got, then tap Eject Water to run a customized cleaning cycle.
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 that moves water best.
Phones have particular characteristics that affect how this works: small drivers, aggressive audio processing, and operating system behaviours that can quietly undermine the whole exercise.
For a complete overview, see our full guide: Clean dust and lint from a speaker.
Before anything else: turn Bluetooth off completely. Not disconnect — off. Phones re-route audio to paired devices automatically and silently, and earbuds in a bag, a car system in the driveway or a smartwatch on your wrist will all take the output. This is the single most common reason people report the tool doing nothing.
Phones maintain independent volume levels for media, calls, alarms and notifications. Pressing volume up outside an app often adjusts ringer volume rather than media volume. Start the tone first, then adjust while it is playing — that guarantees you are moving the right slider.
Many phones apply dynamic range compression, bass enhancement or loudness normalisation to media output. These can reduce the clean sine wave the cycle depends on. If your device has an equaliser or a sound-enhancement mode, switch it to flat or off before running cycles.
A phone speaker is a few millimetres across. It cannot produce useful output much below 100 Hz regardless of what you play through it, which is why the working band sits between roughly 120 and 400 Hz. Files advertised at very low frequencies are often inaudible on a phone not because the file is wrong but because the driver cannot reproduce it.
Most phones have two outputs. Media plays through the bottom loudspeaker; calls play through the earpiece. Running media cycles does nothing for a blocked earpiece — if your problem is quiet calls rather than quiet music, the earpiece is the target and it needs physical cleaning more than acoustic.
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.
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.
Yes. Water is held by surface tension and usually clears in one or two cycles. Dust is wedged mechanically and held by static, so it needs a sweeping range of frequencies and several more passes.
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.
For maintenance, roughly once a month is plenty. More often if you exercise heavily, work outdoors, or live somewhere humid or dusty. There is no benefit to daily use on a speaker that sounds fine.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
