Clear Wave pushes trapped water and dust out of your phone speaker with calibrated low-frequency sound, then scores the result with on-device AI so you can hear and see the difference. HOW A CLEAN WORKS • Your speaker is measured before the run • A tuned low-frequency sweep vibrates water out of the grille • Your speaker is measured again and the improvement is scored WHAT YOU GET • Water Eject — a sound sweep that pushes droplets out • Dust Removal — higher-frequency pulses that loosen debris • Ultra Mode — a deeper, higher-power clean for stubborn cases • Sound Quality AI — a before and after score, computed on your device • Tone Generator — any frequency from 10 Hz to 20 kHz • Stereo Test — check the left and right channels separately • dB Meter — a live sound level readout with min, average and max • Siri Shortcut — just say "Siri, start Clear Wave" GOOD TO KNOW Point the speaker downward and take the phone out of its case before cleaning. Run it again if the sound is still muffled. Your audio is analysed on the device and never uploaded.
