Bring your speakers back to life with a complete audio care toolkit for water ejection, speaker cleaning, sound testing, frequency tuning, noise measurement, and calming sound therapy. Whether your phone sounds muffled after a splash, you want to check speaker clarity, or you need clean background sound for focus and sleep, this app combines calibrated sound pulses, haptic feedback, real-time audio generation, guided diagnostics, and session tracking in one polished experience. SPEAKER CLEANING Water, dust, and moisture can make your speaker sound quiet, distorted, or unclear. Focused frequency pulses and haptic vibration patterns help push trapped liquid and debris away from the speaker grille. Choose 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds, place your phone with the speaker facing downward, and follow the live progress through frequency output, resonance balancing, residual moisture clearing, and final cleanup. AUDIO TOOLKIT - Tone Generator: pure sine tone from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with live frequency control, volume control, and quick musical presets - Speaker Quality Test: guided 3-stage bass, mid, and treble check to spot buzzing, distortion, or weak response - dB Meter: real-time environmental noise with current, minimum, maximum, and average readings - Live charting of recent noise samples while you measure SOUND THERAPY Real-time DSP, not downloaded loops. The app generates smooth, continuous sound directly on your device, with no repeated files and no distracting ad breaks. Explore Focus, Sleep, and Relaxation categories with white noise, pink noise, brown noise, soft rain, fan sounds, and deep ambient textures designed for calmer routines, better concentration, and more comfortable rest. 7-DAY RECOVERY PLAN For speakers that need more than one quick clean, follow a structured 7-day routine: - Day 1: Diagnose speaker quality - Day 2: Run a focused water ejection session - Day 3: Use brown noise to settle the speaker membrane - Day 4: Recheck bass, mid, and treble response - Day 5: Maintain with tone-generator sweeps - Day 6: Repeat cleaning - Day 7: Confirm the result with a final speaker test ACTIVITY TRACKING Every cleaning, therapy, tone, dB meter, and speaker test session is recorded so you can see your audio care history over time. Review weekly activity, day streaks, consistency, session types, durations, and test scores. WHY THIS APP - Water eject and speaker cleaning in seconds - Calibrated frequency pulses with haptic feedback - 15, 30, 45, and 60-second cleaning modes - Pure sine tone generator from 20 Hz to 20 kHz - Guided bass, mid, and treble speaker test - Real-time dB meter with min, max, and average readings - Focus, sleep, and relaxation sound therapy - White, pink, brown, rain, and fan noise generation - 7-day speaker recovery and maintenance routine - Session history and weekly care insights - Dark, premium, distraction-free interface Built for people who want a cleaner, smarter, more complete way to care for their phone's sound. From accidental splashes to daily audio checks, from focused work sessions to quiet sleep routines, speaker care becomes a simple, beautiful, and reliable habit. Important: This app helps with speaker cleaning and audio testing but cannot guarantee repair of water-damaged hardware. If your device has been heavily exposed to liquid or continues to malfunction, contact Apple Support or an authorized repair provider.

Water in your speaker? Push it out with sound. A splash in the sink, rain on the way home, a few minutes too long in the shower โ€” trapped water muffles your speaker and turns music, calls and alarms into a distant hum. ClearWave plays precisely tuned low-frequency tones that vibrate the speaker membrane and force the water back out through the grille. No rice. No cables. No taking the phone apart. Just sound. HOW IT WORKS A speaker makes sound by moving a thin membrane. ClearWave drives that membrane with a strong low tone โ€” around 165 Hz in the main mode โ€” and the movement pushes trapped droplets out of the opening. Hold the phone with the speaker facing down and let the cycle run. FIVE CLEANING MODES โ€ข Speaker โ€” the standard 30-second water-eject cycle for the loudspeaker โ€ข Earpiece โ€” a gentler cycle for the earpiece at the top of the phone โ€ข Microphone โ€” clears dust and debris around the microphone port โ€ข Deep Clean โ€” a longer sweep across a wider frequency range for stubborn water โ€ข Custom โ€” pick the frequency yourself, anywhere from 20 Hz to 20 kHz SOUND TEST After a cycle, check the result. Play left, right or stereo and hear straight away whether the speaker is clear again. FREQUENCY GENERATOR A full 20 Hz โ€“ 20 kHz tone generator with sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms โ€” for testing headphones, checking your hearing range, or setting up speakers. WHY CLEARWAVE โ€ข Completely free, with no ads anywhere in the app โ€ข Works offline โ€” no account, no sign-up โ€ข The volume rises smoothly instead of blasting at full power โ€ข Volume is limited automatically when headphones are connected โ€ข Cleaning history, so you know when you last ran a cycle โ€ข English, Russian and Uzbek โ€ข Small download, light on the battery FOR THE BEST RESULT 1. Take the case off 2. Turn the volume up โ€” the app does this for you 3. Hold the phone with the speaker pointing down 4. Run a cycle, wipe the water away, and repeat if it still sounds muffled PLEASE NOTE ClearWave helps eject water sitting in the speaker opening. It cannot repair a speaker that is already damaged, and it is not a replacement for professional service if the phone has taken a serious soaking. Do not hold the phone against your ear while a cleaning cycle is playing. ClearWave is free and stays free. If it saved your speaker, there is an optional tip inside the app โ€” nothing is locked behind it.
