Know what you checked, which audio route you used, and what you noticed. SonaTrace turns scattered sound utilities into guided, repeatable audio checkups. Choose what you are preparing for, follow a short sequence, and save the result to your private Audio Passport. GUIDED AUDIO CHECKUPS Use a clear step-by-step flow for an everyday audio check, after-splash listening check, call setup, recording setup, or headphone setup. Every checkup keeps its purpose and current audio route visible, then asks for your own observation instead of presenting an invented repair score. AUDIO PASSPORT Save completed checkups on your device with the date, route snapshot, observations, and an optional note. Revisit the timeline when your setup changes, delete individual entries, or clear the entire history whenever you choose. QUIET WINDOW Sample 12 seconds of ambient microphone levels before a call or recording. SonaTrace reports whether that short window was relatively steady, mixed, or changing. No audio recording is saved, and the result is not a calibrated sound-level measurement. AUDIO LAB Open focused tools when you need them: • Bounded four-band speaker reference • Transient five-second microphone capture and local playback • Speaker Care with timed low-frequency sweep-and-pulse routines • Tone Bench with precise frequency control • Live estimated sound-level and frequency view • Left/right stereo reference • Lantern, visual SOS, and custom Morse on supported iPhones PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Audio Passport entries stay in the app on your device. Reference sounds are generated locally. The Mic / playback sample lives only in memory and is discarded when its screen closes. SonaTrace has no cloud profile, advertising tracker, or third-party analytics SDK. Microphone access is requested only inside a tool that needs it. SonaTrace is a reference and observation tool. It does not repair hardware, guarantee liquid or debris removal, provide a calibrated sound-pressure measurement, or replace professional service.

Changes in your phone’s sound are not always obvious at first. Maybe you used your phone in the rain, accidentally splashed it with water, or spent the day in a dusty environment. Then, at some point, you notice that familiar music and phone calls no longer sound as clear as they used to. When that happens, we want you to have a simple place to start. That is why we created PulseClean. Open PulseClean, select a cleaning option, and position your phone as shown before playing the cleaning audio. During playback, you can adjust the volume, check the remaining time, or pause whenever you need to. When the session ends, you can record how the sound feels to you. If the speaker still sounds muffled, you may run the cleaning cycle a few more times based on your situation. You can also use Sound Check to listen more closely to your speaker and microphone performance. You can save frequently used steps as your own Routine. Arrange cleaning audio, low-frequency water-eject audio, and sound checks in the order that works for you. The next time you encounter a similar situation, your preferred sequence will be ready to play. PulseClean also includes white, pink, and brown noise for observing how your speaker performs across different sound ranges. By listening to each type of noise, you may notice distortion, uneven volume, unwanted noise, or unusual behavior within certain frequency ranges. This gives you another way to understand how your speaker responds under different playback conditions. We want PulseClean to do one thing well: when your speaker does not sound quite right, give you a simple and understandable way to respond. It may not be an app you open every day. But when familiar sounds suddenly become muffled, we hope PulseClean will be the tool you choose to open. Results may vary depending on the device and its condition. PulseClean provides sound-based assistance and is not intended to diagnose or repair hardware.
