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.
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.
Water is the most common cause of sudden speaker muffling, and the most likely to be fully recoverable if handled correctly in the first few minutes.

It does not simply sit there. It forms a continuous film held by surface tension, clinging to the mesh and the diaphragm. That film adds mass to the moving system and physically blocks the opening — which is why the sound becomes both quieter and duller rather than just one or the other.
Low-frequency audio moves the diaphragm through its greatest travel. Each stroke pumps air against the film, and once accumulated displacement exceeds the surface tension holding it together, the film fragments into separate droplets. From there, gravity and the airflow carry them out through the grille.
Do not charge for 24 to 48 hours, however good the speaker sounds. Voltage across damp connector pins corrodes them within minutes, and this is the most common route from a recoverable splash to a damaged phone. Wireless charging is safe if supported.
Salt water leaves chloride deposits that keep corroding — rinse briefly with fresh water first, then dry. Sugary drinks leave sticky residue that traps dust and jams the diaphragm, and usually need professional cleaning. Soap and chlorine penetrate further than plain water because they reduce surface tension.
Eject the SIM tray and look for a white strip that has turned pink or red.

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.
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.
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.
