Water Eject Tool
Dropped your phone in water or got caught in the rain? Water in phone speaker grilles makes sound quiet, buzzy or muffled. This water eject tool plays a low 165 Hz sound to remove water from phone speakers: the speaker vibrates and pushes the water out through the grille. Choose Normal or Strong, set the timer and press Start.
How to Get Water Out of Your Phone Speaker
Wondering how to get water out of phone speaker grilles? It is common and usually easy to fix. Follow these four steps in order. Most phones sound clear again after one or two runs.
Dry the outside
Take off the case, wipe the phone with a soft cloth and gently shake out loose drops from the speaker and port.
30 secondsVolume up, silent off
Raise the media volume to the top and turn off silent mode so the tone plays at full strength.
Very importantRun the water tone
Press Start and hold the phone with the speaker facing down so gravity helps the water fall out.
30 sec to 2 minRest and test
Wipe the grille again, then play a song. If it still sounds wet, run Strong mode once more. Then check both sides with the speaker test.
Repeat if neededHow the Water Eject Sound Works
To understand how to remove water from phone speaker holes with sound, start with the cone. A phone speaker has a small cone that moves back and forth to make sound. A low tone makes that cone move further than normal speech or music does, and that movement is what pushes water out. Read our full guide on how to get water out of a phone speaker for more tips.
Start the toolLow frequency, big movement
At 165 Hz the speaker cone travels a long way on every cycle. That strong push and pull acts like a tiny pump behind the grille.
165 Hz sine toneBreaks the water seal
Water sticks to the mesh and forms a thin film. Steady vibration breaks that film so drops can move.
Surface tensionGravity does the rest
With the speaker facing down, loosened drops fall out through the grille instead of sliding back in.
Hold speaker downStrong mode for stubborn water
Strong mode adds a second tone and a slow pulse. The changing pressure helps shift drops that a steady tone leaves behind, so you can eject water from speaker holes that stay blocked. To try other tones, see the speaker cleaner frequency page.

Looking for a water eject iPhone setting? iPhone has no water eject button in Settings, and that includes recent models like iPhone 16 and iPhone 17. You do not need an app or a shortcut either. This page plays the water eject sound straight from Safari. For a full iPhone clean, use the iPhone speaker cleaner.
Water eject Shortcuts you find online are made by users, not Apple. Apple Watch is different: it has a real Water Lock feature. See our guide to Apple Watch water eject.
