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 your issue and run the appropriate fix cycle to restore your speaker audio in about a minute.
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.
Knowing the process helps you judge whether a quote is reasonable and whether the shop is doing the right work for your particular fault.
For a complete overview, see our full guide: Repair, replace, or live with it.
A competent shop tests before opening anything — each speaker in isolation, the microphones, and whether the fault follows software or hardware. This should be free or credited against the repair. A shop that quotes a firm price before testing is guessing.
Modern phones are sealed with adhesive that requires controlled heat and patience. This is where most of the labour cost sits — often more than the part itself. It is also why opening a device almost always compromises its water resistance: factory adhesive seals are rarely restored to original spec.
Which speaker failed matters most — an earpiece bonded into the display assembly is a far larger job than a bottom loudspeaker. Then whether the part is a bare driver or a sealed waterproof module. Then labour to open the device. And finally whether liquid reached the board, which changes a swap into a clean-and-inspect.
A straightforward speaker swap is often same-day if the part is in stock. Liquid damage takes longer because cleaning and drying cannot be rushed, and because a responsible shop will test over a period rather than handing it straight back.
That the fault might not be the speaker. That liquid damage carries no guarantee of long-term success even after a clean. That opening the device affects water resistance. A shop that presents any repair as certain is overselling, particularly with corrosion involved.
Test everything before leaving — both speakers, all microphones, the proximity sensor, and charging. Faults introduced during reassembly are easiest to resolve while you are still there.

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.
