Download a water-eject sound

Use the same transparent 165–230 Hz sweep as our browser player without keeping the page open. Choose an original WAV file and follow the precautions below.

Quick answer: download one of the original mono WAV files below. Each sweeps continuously from 165 Hz to 230 Hz and back over five seconds. Start at a moderate media volume, keep the phone's speaker facing down, and stop if playback sounds harsh or the device behaves unexpectedly.

30-second WAV

A short first attempt. Mono, 16-bit PCM, 22.05 kHz, approximately 1.3 MB.

Download 30s WAV

60-second WAV

Matches the default web-player duration. Mono, 16-bit PCM, 22.05 kHz, approximately 2.6 MB.

90-second WAV

One longer continuous file. Mono, 16-bit PCM, 22.05 kHz, approximately 4.0 MB.

How these files were made

The files are generated by SpeakerEject from a simple sine-wave sweep: 165 Hz to 230 Hz in 2.5 seconds, then back to 165 Hz in 2.5 seconds. The signal amplitude is 24% of full scale with a short fade at the beginning and end. They contain no speech, tracking, metadata, or third-party audio.

These settings describe our product; they are not a scientifically established optimum for every speaker. Phone hardware, grille geometry, liquid location, case design, and damage all vary.

Why a sweep instead of a fixed 165 Hz tone?

Many search results label 165 Hz as the water-eject frequency, but we found no manufacturer source or controlled comparison establishing it as a universal optimum. This download includes 165 Hz as the lower end of a transparent sweep; it does not claim that 165 Hz alone is special. See the frequency evidence and limits for the source boundaries.

How to use a downloaded sound

  1. Follow the device maker's liquid-safety guidance first. Do not charge a wet connector.
  2. Disconnect headphones and Bluetooth speakers so audio uses the wet phone speaker.
  3. Remove the case if it blocks the grille and hold the speaker facing down.
  4. Begin at a moderate media volume. Play the 30-second file once, then compare the speaker with familiar speech or music.
  5. Stop if the phone heats up, distorts sharply, shows a liquid warning, or appears internally wet.

WAV rather than MP3

WAV stores the generated waveform without lossy compression and is widely supported by current phones and computers. The larger file size is the tradeoff. We publish the format and settings so the asset can be inspected instead of describing it as a secret or universally calibrated frequency.

If you only need to use the sound once, play the browser version without downloading a file.
