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.
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.
Clearing water from a speaker requires no purchase, no subscription and no installation. It is worth understanding why, because the paid versions of this are selling something that costs nothing to produce.

Generating a tone requires an oscillator and an audio output. Every modern browser includes both through the Web Audio API — it is a few lines of code and consumes no meaningful resources. There is no processing cost, no server work and no licensing involved. Any tool charging for this is charging for packaging.
Usually an interface and sometimes a preset list of frequencies. Neither changes the physical result, because the limiting factor is your speaker's diaphragm rather than the software driving it. A paid app and a free web page send the same waveform to the same hardware.
A soft dry brush you already own. A lint-free cloth. Gravity — pointing the grille downward. Moving air. Patience across 24 to 48 hours before charging. None of these cost anything and together they account for most of a successful recovery.
Two things. Cleaning putty, which costs very little and is genuinely the best home tool for compacted debris. And professional repair, when the symptoms indicate hardware damage rather than blockage — buzzing that worsens with volume, total silence on one channel, or crackling that changes when you flex the chassis.
Free APK downloads outside official app stores. The category sounds harmless and the function is trivial to fake, which makes it a recurring vector for adware. A tool that plays a 165 Hz tone has no legitimate need for contacts, storage or device-administrator access.
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.
Immediately, for the speaker itself — liquid that leaves early cannot sit and corrode. Dry the exterior first so you are not pulling surface water inward. The waiting rule applies to charging, not to ejection: never plug in a wet device.
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.
Eject the liquid the same way, but treat the device as needing professional attention afterwards. Salt and sugar leave conductive, corrosive residue when they dry, and that residue keeps damaging the board long after the speaker sounds normal.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
