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.
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.
Water and dust are held in place by different forces, so the audio that shifts them is shaped differently. Using the water tone on dust is the commonest reason a dust problem stays put.
For a complete overview, see our full guide: Clean dust and lint from a speaker.
Water is held by surface tension — a continuous film with a threshold. Break the film and the whole thing releases at once. Dust is held by static charge and mechanical wedging, which has no threshold: each particle releases independently or not at all.
Against a threshold force, the best strategy is maximum displacement in one place — a fixed tone near the driver's resonant frequency. Against wedging and static, the best strategy is constant change, because any steady oscillation lets particles find a stable position within it. A sweep across roughly 120–400 Hz keeps the diaphragm's motion varying so no resting point exists.
A tone that rises and falls slowly rather than holding steady. If it sweeps too fast it behaves like broadband noise and loses the excursion advantage; too slow and it approximates a fixed tone for long stretches. A few seconds per traverse is the useful middle.
Part of what holds dust in a grille is electrostatic attraction, which is strongest in dry air. This is why dust removal is often noticeably easier in humid conditions and stubborn in winter with heating running. You cannot do much about it directly — and adding moisture deliberately would create a worse problem — but it explains inconsistent results between attempts on different days.
Maximum volume is no more effective here than it is for water, and the thermal cost is higher because dust cycles run longer. Seventy to eighty percent, four or five passes, with pauses between them.
Sound moves loose material. It does nothing to anything bonded — oil, wax, sugar residue, or fibre that has been damp and dried in place. If several sweep cycles produce no change at all, the blockage is adhesive rather than loose, and no waveform addresses that.
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.
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.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
