Low-frequency audio moves the speaker diaphragm. On some phones, that movement can help shift small droplets near the opening.
What to do
- This demo uses a 165 Hz sine tone.
- Results vary because speaker construction differs between devices.
- It is a cleaning aid, not a hardware repair or guarantee of water removal.
Important: Sound cannot repair hardware damage. If the phone was heavily submerged, will not power on normally, becomes hot, or remains distorted after drying, follow the manufacturer’s service guidance.
