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.
Set exactly how long you want the speaker cleaning to run. We recommend 1-2 minutes for best results.
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.
Different parts of this take very different amounts of time, and confusing them is why people either give up too early or wait unnecessarily.
For a complete overview, see our full guide: Diagnosing what is actually wrong.
Most of the actual work happens in the first 20 seconds. That is when the water film breaks apart. The remaining time carries the freed droplets out through the opening.
Including the wiping between cycles and setting up properly, budget around five minutes. Water responds quickly because it releases all at once once the tone breaks its surface tension. If two cycles have made a clear difference, a third is worth doing. If the first two changed nothing, more will not help.
Dust is slower because it comes out gradually rather than all at once — each pass frees a little more. Add five minutes for brushing the speaker grille first, which makes a real difference to what the cycles can achieve.
This is completely separate from the speaker, and much longer. Even when the speaker sounds perfect, moisture remains around the charging port and inside the body. Leave the phone standing upright in a room with moving air. A fan on low speed helps. No heat, no hair dryer, no rice.
The most important number on this page. A clear speaker tells you the speaker cavity is clear. It tells you nothing about the charging port. Electricity across damp charging contacts causes corrosion within minutes, and it is the most common reason a phone that could have been saved is not.
Wireless charging is safe during this period if your phone supports it, because it does not use the port.
Playing the tone continuously for ten minutes achieves nothing extra. Once the accessible water is out, extra time only heats the speaker coil, which actually reduces its output as it gets warmer.

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.
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. 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.
