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.
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 range where diaphragm travel is greatest.
Dust and water each have a straightforward fix. Together they create a third problem that neither fix addresses, and the window to prevent it is short.
For a complete overview, see our guide to mixed blockages.
Dry lint sits loose in a grille and shakes out. Wet lint compacts. As it dries, capillary action pulls the fibres tight against the mesh and against each other, and any dissolved mineral content in the water crystallises between them. The result is a mat that is mechanically bonded to the mesh rather than resting in it — and mechanical bonds do not respond to vibration.
This bonding happens as the water evaporates, over roughly the first few hours. A grille cleared of liquid before that point still has loose dust in it. A grille left to dry with water and lint together has a bonded layer that no home method will fully remove. This is why acting quickly matters more here than in either problem alone.
Adhesive putty is the best remaining home option. Press lightly onto the grille and lift straight off, using a fresh face each time. It grips bonded surface fibre and pulls it out rather than pressing it in. Expect partial recovery — typically most of the clarity, not all of it.
Clean fresh water leaves the least behind. Anything with dissolved solids — tap water in hard-water areas, seawater, sweat — crystallises between fibres and bonds the mat far more firmly. Sugary liquid is worse still and generally needs professional cleaning.

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.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
