Good questions
Before you press play.
Looking for “clean my speaker”? Start with the cause, and choose the next step that fits.
Read the iPhone guide ↗Can this fix my speaker?
It may help when a little moisture near the speaker opening is causing temporary muffling. It cannot repair a damaged driver, corrosion, a blocked charging port or liquid inside the phone.
How does a speaker cleaner work?
The tool plays a 165–230 Hz sweep through your selected audio output. Speaker movement may shift droplets near the grille. This range is a tool preset, not a proven best frequency for every device.
Can sound remove speaker dust?
We have not established that sound removes packed dust, lint or sticky residue. Follow the dust cleaning guide for gentle external cleaning and your manufacturer’s instructions.
Should I turn my volume all the way up?
Start at a comfortable level and keep the device away from your ears. Increase only if needed. Stop if you hear distortion or the sound feels uncomfortable.
Do I need an app or microphone access?
No. The cleaning and test tones are generated in your browser without a microphone, account or audio upload. The optional voice sample uses your browser’s speech service.
How do I clean my iPhone speaker?
First check the audio output and remove any case covering the grille. For visible dirt, follow Apple’s guidance on a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush. Use the iPhone guide below for more detail.
