Muffled speaker? Phone got wet? SonicEject fixes it in 30 seconds using precision sound frequencies — no shaking, no rice, no waiting. Just tap Clean and let the tone do the work. HOW IT WORKS SonicEject plays a carefully tuned sine wave that sweeps between 140 Hz and 180 Hz — the same frequency range used by Apple's own Water Eject feature. The vibration physically dislodges water and debris from your speaker grille, restoring clear sound. SPEAKER HEALTH CHECK Not sure if your speaker is muffled? Run a Speaker Health Check first. SonicEject plays tones across 5 frequency bands and guides you through rating your sound quality — so you know exactly what you're dealing with before you clean. KEY FEATURES • Fix Muffled Sound — precision sweep clears water and debris in one cycle • Speaker Health Check — diagnose your speaker before and after cleaning • One-Tap Clean — 30-second cycle starts automatically • 140–180 Hz Sweep — optimal range for dislodging water from speaker meshes • Visual Progress Ring — watch the countdown in real time • Haptic Feedback — vibration cadence synced to the sound wave • Background Audio — continue cleaning even if you lock your screen • Works on All iPhones — speakers, bottom grilles, and EarPods SPEAKER CLEANER PRO • Unlimited 30-second cleaning cycles • Unlimited Speaker Health Checks • Full 140–180 Hz frequency sweep --- Results may vary by device and amount of liquid exposure.

Dropped your phone in water? Muffled speaker? DryWave plays precisely tuned sound to push water out of the speaker grill — the same 165 Hz principle the Apple Watch uses to eject water. ■ Water Eject One tap plays a 165 Hz pulse cycle that physically pushes water droplets out. Point the speaker down, turn the volume up, and run 2–3 cycles. ■ Dust Clean A frequency sweep (60 Hz–8 kHz) vibrates dust and debris loose from the speaker mesh. ■ Manual Tone A frequency slider (50–15,000 Hz) for full control — great for testing your speaker too. ■ Home screen widget Add the 1×1 DryWave widget and eject water with one tap — right from your home screen. ■ No nonsense • The clean button is never locked behind an ad • No subscription — remove ads forever with one small purchase • No account, no permissions, works fully offline Note: DryWave helps eject water and dust with sound. It cannot repair hardware damage. For heavily water-damaged devices, power off and see a professional.
