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 — 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 — around 165 Hz in the main mode — 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 • Speaker — the standard 30-second water-eject cycle for the loudspeaker • Earpiece — a gentler cycle for the earpiece at the top of the phone • Microphone — clears dust and debris around the microphone port • Deep Clean — a longer sweep across a wider frequency range for stubborn water • Custom — 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 – 20 kHz tone generator with sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms — for testing headphones, checking your hearing range, or setting up speakers. WHY CLEARWAVE • Completely free, with no ads anywhere in the app • Works offline — no account, no sign-up • The volume rises smoothly instead of blasting at full power • Volume is limited automatically when headphones are connected • Cleaning history, so you know when you last ran a cycle • English, Russian and Uzbek • Small download, light on the battery FOR THE BEST RESULT 1. Take the case off 2. Turn the volume up — 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 — nothing is locked behind it.
