Water Eject vs Glance Away

Got water in your phone speaker after rain, a pool, or a spill? Sound muffled and quiet? Water Eject plays a low-frequency tone that vibrates the trapped water out of the speaker grille. It is the same idea smartwatches use to clear their own speakers — a sound wave doing the work, with nothing to poke into the port. EJECT WATER WITH SOUND A 165 Hz tone drives the speaker membrane hard enough to push droplets up and out. Lay the phone speaker-down, run a session, and wipe away what comes to the surface. Most sessions take about 30 seconds. CLEANING MODES Safe uses gentle low frequencies for delicate speakers. Normal is the balanced everyday setting. Deep Clean and Ultra Clean run longer and harder when the sound is still muffled after a first pass. SPEAKER & STEREO TEST Check the left channel, the right channel, or both together, so you can hear which speaker is actually affected and confirm it is clear afterwards. DECIBEL METER Measure real sound level in dB with the microphone. Handy for comparing loudness before and after a cleaning session, or just for checking how noisy a room is. TONE GENERATOR Play specific frequencies on demand, from deep bass up through the high range, including the 396, 417, 528, 639, 741 and 852 Hz tones. Useful for testing speakers, headphones and earbuds. DUST AND EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE Vibration also helps shake loose lint and dust sitting in the speaker mesh, which is often what makes an older phone sound quiet and flat. WHEN PEOPLE USE IT After swimming or the beach, after being caught in rain, after a spilled drink, after a workout in the rain, or any time the speaker suddenly sounds muffled, crackly or too quiet. WORKS WITH Phone speakers, and it can play through connected earphones and earbuds for testing. Water Eject uses sound to move surface water out of a speaker. It is not a repair service and cannot fix hardware that is already damaged — if your device took a serious soak, power it down and get it looked at. Water Eject offers an optional subscription. The free version includes a short preview session; weekly and yearly plans unlock unlimited cleaning, all modes, the decibel meter and the full tone generator.
