- Audio Test — Left, Right and Stereo Speaker TestFree online audio test: check left and right channels, stereo balance, phase and frequency range on speakers, headphones and earbuds.
- Online Tone GeneratorGenerate a sine, square, triangle or sawtooth tone at any frequency from 1 to 20,000 Hz. Free online tone generator with presets.
Which frequency does what: acoustic matrix
| Frequency | Target driver | Physical mechanism | Best for | In the tool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 165 Hz | Phone bottom loudspeakers (iPhone, Android) | Long diaphragm strokes break the surface tension holding droplets on the mesh | Water after a splash | ~30 s per cycle |
| 145 Hz | Larger drivers (tablets, laptops, portable speakers) | Lower pitch moves more air through bigger grilles | Water in larger speakers | Part of Auto water cycle |
| 200 Hz | Small speakers and earpiece grilles | Faster vibration shakes loose dry dust and lint | Dust and pocket lint | Dust mode |
| 100–200 Hz sweep | Any speaker | Gliding pitch passes through each driver's own resonance point | Mixed or unknown cause | Ends each Auto cycle |
Safety limit: these tones stay inside the range speakers already play with music. If you hear buzzing, rattling or harsh distortion, lower the volume — and never use a tone on a phone that is still wet inside or will not power on.
Sound tone vs. common DIY fixes
| Method | Water | Dust / lint | Risk | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sound tone (this tool) | Shakes droplets off the mesh | Loose dust only | Low at normal volume | 30–90 seconds |
| Rice or silica bag | Only slow surface drying | No | Rice dust can enter ports | Days |
| Hair dryer (hot air) | Can push water deeper | No | Heat can soften adhesives | Minutes |
| Compressed air | Forces water inward | Sometimes | Can tear the mesh | Seconds |
| Pin or cotton swab | Partly | Partly | High — punctures mesh | Minutes |
A tone only reaches water and dust sitting on the outer mesh. Water inside the phone needs proper drying — see water-damaged phone recovery.
Frequently asked questions
How does a sound wave get water out of a speaker?
A low tone around 165 Hz makes the speaker's diaphragm move a long way back and forth. That movement breaks the surface tension holding droplets on the protective mesh and pushes them outward. Apple Watch's Water Lock eject uses the same idea.
Is it safe for my phone or earbuds?
The tone uses your device's normal audio output — the same range the speaker handles playing music. If you hear rattling or harsh distortion, lower the volume. A tone cannot fix corrosion or a torn speaker.
Which frequency should I use — 165, 145 or 200 Hz?
165 Hz suits most phone speakers. 145 Hz suits larger drivers such as portable Bluetooth speakers. 200 Hz is meant for loosening dust and lint rather than water. Auto mode picks a sequence for you.
How long should I play the water eject sound?
One cycle (about 30 seconds) usually helps after a splash. After full submersion, power the phone off and dry it first, then run two or three cycles with short pauses.
Does it work on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser using the Web Audio API. Vibration patterns only work in Android browsers; on iPhone the low rumble tone is used instead.
Is anything recorded or uploaded?
No. The tones are generated on your device. The tool never uses your microphone and sends nothing to a server.
