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 range where diaphragm travel is greatest.
A phone that works fine the day after a splash can develop problems weeks later. Understanding why changes what you do in the first hour.
For a complete overview, see the repair decision guide.
Clearing the speaker restores the sound because it removes the physical obstruction. It does nothing about dissolved solids left behind elsewhere in the device. As water evaporates it leaves mineral and salt deposits on contacts and solder joints, and those deposits attract further moisture and slowly corrode metal.
This is why a phone can sound perfect the next day and develop charging problems, intermittent audio, or battery issues weeks later.
Speed, mostly. Liquid removed in the first ten minutes never gets the chance to evaporate into a deposit. Power off immediately, blot the exterior, eject the SIM tray, run cycles early, then dry for 24 to 48 hours in moving air without charging.
Eject the SIM tray and look for the liquid contact indicator — a white strip that turns pink or red. It takes ten seconds and converts speculation into fact, including for any later warranty conversation.
Anything other than clean fresh water. An ultrasonic board clean now is considerably cheaper than a failure in three months.

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.
