Clear Wave plays sound waves that shake water out of your iPhone's speaker, so the sound comes back clear. It also has a tone generator, a dB meter, and speaker and microphone tests. Key Features: Speaker Cleaner – A 165 Hz water-eject program pushes trapped water out of the speaker. Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds; Clear Wave reminds you to turn the volume up for the best clean. Tone Generator – Play any frequency from 10 Hz to 20,000 Hz with sine, triangle, square or sawtooth waves, and see the matching musical note. Useful for sound checks, tuning and testing audio equipment. dB Meter – Measure the sound level around you, with average, minimum and maximum, the current frequency, and how loud it really is, from "like a library" to "like a rock concert". Measurement Photos – Take a photo with the sound level and the date on it, and save it to your photo library. Speaker Test – Play sound through the top and bottom speakers separately, plus a deep bass pulse, to check that both work. Microphone Check – Clap or speak and find out whether your microphone hears you clearly. Clean Reminder – Get a daily or weekly reminder to clean your speakers. Siri – Start cleaning hands-free with Siri. Subscription Pricing & Terms: Clear Wave offers auto-renewing subscription options.

Water in your speaker? DrySpeaker is the fastest way to eject water, dust and grime from iPhone and iPad speakers with precise sound-wave frequencies that physically push liquid out. WHY DRYSPEAKER Accidents happen. Rain, pool, shower, sweat, spilled drinks — water trapped inside speaker grilles muffles calls, distorts music and can permanently damage your phone if left inside. DrySpeaker fixes it in under a minute using the same proven sound-wave method Apple Watch uses for its own water-eject feature. HOW IT WORKS Tap Start. DrySpeaker plays a calibrated low-frequency tone tuned to your speaker's resonance. The sound wave vibrates the diaphragm, bouncing water droplets out through the grille. A dust-eject mode clears pocket lint and debris. A speaker test mode plays stereo frequencies so you can confirm left/right channels are clean and working. FEATURES • Water Eject — calibrated sine-wave tone to push water out • Dust Eject — higher-frequency pulses to clear lint and grime • Speaker Test — stereo L/R channel check • Sound Test — full-range tone sweep to verify audio clarity • Clear Wave — continuous wave for stubborn water • Repeat Mode — auto-cycle until speakers are dry • Volume Boost — safe max output for deeper cleaning • Works on iPhone, iPad, AirPods case, bluetooth speakers and earbuds • No internet required — pure on-device audio • Haptic feedback while cleaning • One-handed, three-tap simple UI WHEN TO USE • After swimming, rain, shower or sauna • If calls sound muffled, distorted or quiet • When music sounds tinny or one-sided • After dropping your phone in snow, sand or dirt • Routine monthly speaker maintenance TRUSTED METHOD DrySpeaker uses the same acoustic principle Apple Watch uses to eject water from its own speakers — it's not a gimmick, it's physics. Thousands of users keep their speakers crystal-clear with it daily. PRIVACY DrySpeaker works 100% offline. No account. No tracking. No ads. Your phone stays yours. SUBSCRIPTION DrySpeaker Pro unlocks unlimited cleaning sessions, dust-eject mode, stereo speaker test, all premium frequencies and ad-free use. $7.99/week or $12.99/6 months, cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
