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 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.
Playing a cleaning sound from a video platform can work, but there are specific technical reasons it often works less well than a generated tone, and they are easy to check.
For a complete overview, see our full guide: What the frequency actually does.
Video platforms re-encode uploaded audio using lossy compression. That process is optimised for how music and speech sound to human ears, not for preserving a mathematically clean sine wave. The result can include harmonic artefacts and slightly altered peaks — precisely the waveform precision the pumping mechanism depends on. A locally generated tone has none of this.
Most platforms normalise playback loudness across videos. A pure low-frequency tone measures differently from music, and normalisation may quietly reduce its level. You can set the device volume to 80 percent and receive considerably less than that at the driver, without any indication.
Videos titled with specific frequencies often do not contain them. There is no verification, and "speaker cleaning" is a high-traffic category that attracts low-effort uploads. A video claiming 30,000 Hz cannot be delivering it — that is above human hearing and beyond what phone speakers reproduce — yet such videos exist in quantity.
Turn Bluetooth off entirely first — this catches more people with video than with anything else, because video apps route to paired devices readily. Set playback quality to the highest available, since lower settings compress audio harder. And check that no autoplay has moved you on to a different video mid-cycle.
A browser-generated tone avoids all of this: no compression, no normalisation, no mislabelling, no autoplay, and it works offline once loaded. Whatever source you use, the same physical rules apply — low frequency, moderate volume, grille facing down, short cycles.

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.
