Do Water Eject Sounds Actually Work?

How low-frequency tones push water out of phone speakers.

The idea

A low tone makes the speaker cone vibrate strongly, which pushes droplets out of the grille.

Evidence

Apple uses the same principle in Apple Watch Water Lock. It helps with the speaker grille but won't dry the inside of the phone.

How to try it

Use a speaker-cleaner app such as Speaker Cleaner: Eject Water or a tone video, at moderate volume for short bursts.
