How to use the water eject tool
- Wipe the outside of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Remove a case if it covers the speaker.
- Disconnect headphones, Bluetooth or AirPlay unless the connected speaker is the one you intend to use.
- Keep the speaker opening facing down. Start at a comfortable playback level, away from your ears.
- Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds, press Start, then compare with the voice sample or a familiar recording.
What does a water eject sound do?
The browser creates a smooth 165–230 Hz sweep. The moving speaker diaphragm may help shift droplets close to the grille. This is a product preset rather than a measured resonance for your phone, and we have not run controlled wet-phone trials.
Apple Watch has a documented water-ejection feature. That does not establish that a browser tone works equally well on every phone. Read what the evidence does and does not show.
When should I stop?
Stop if there is uncomfortable sound, worsening distortion or heat. If an initial cycle changes nothing, repeated playback is not a reliable fix. Sound does not dry internal components or a charging port, and it does not reverse corrosion.
If the device was submerged or displays a liquid warning, follow the manufacturer's drying instructions before using it or connecting a cable. Apple explains its approach to liquid-detection alerts.
Still sounds muffled?
Check output routing, obstructions and ordinary playback with the speaker test. Use the iPhone guide or Android guide for device-specific checks.
