How to use

Volume goes to maximum on start — a quiet signal will not move water.

Hold the phone with the speaker facing down so gravity helps. Wipe the grille afterwards.

Run a second cycle if needed, but give the speaker a short rest between runs.

Keep the phone away from your ear during the cycle.

Record & Export

Capture up to 30 seconds of what you are hearing.

Nothing is playing — start a sound first, then record.

About this tool

A pulsing low-frequency tone that drives the speaker membrane through its widest excursion, pushing trapped water out of the grille. The cycle runs for 30 seconds at full output and then stops on its own. Hold the phone with the speaker facing downwards so gravity works with you.

Frequently asked questions

  • The speaker membrane moves air by vibrating. At a low frequency it travels much further on each cycle than it does at high frequencies, and that large physical movement pushes droplets sitting in the grille outwards. The tone is also pulsed and swept slightly so a droplet cannot settle in one spot and stay there.

  • The useful range sits roughly between 100 Hz and 200 Hz — low enough for large membrane excursion, high enough that a small phone speaker can still reproduce it with force. OmniTone centres on 165 Hz and sweeps gently around it, which covers the range without demanding more from the speaker than it can give.

  • Membrane excursion is proportional to output level. At half volume the membrane simply does not move far enough to expel a droplet. The tool raises the master volume for the cycle and then puts it back exactly where you had it.

  • A 30-second cycle is well within what a phone speaker handles. What you should avoid is running it continuously for minutes on end, because sustained high-amplitude low frequencies heat the voice coil. That is exactly why the cycle stops itself, and why you should pause briefly between runs.

  • Run a second cycle with the speaker facing down, and tap the phone gently against your palm between runs. If sound is still muffled after a few attempts, the water is likely inside the enclosure rather than in the grille — leave the device to dry in a well-ventilated place for several hours. This tool clears the speaker opening; it does not dry the inside of a phone.

  • Yes, the principle is identical, though larger devices often have speaker openings that drain on their own. Point the opening downwards and run the cycle the same way.
