Sounds like new: a step-by-step guide to cleaning your smartphone speaker

Wheezing, hissing, or no sound at all? Most likely, the speaker of your smartphone needs a thorough cleaning. Over time, dust, dirt and other small particles get into its holes, which deteriorates the sound quality.

In this article, we will take a detailed look at how to clean your phone's speaker yourself without damaging it. You'll learn which tools are best for this and how to avoid common cleaning mistakes.

Why does a speaker get dirty and how does it affect the sound?

Smartphone speaker – it is a miniature sound-reproducing device that consists of a membrane and a magnet. When an electric current passes through it, the membrane begins to vibrate, creating sound waves. If dust or dirt gets into the openings of the speaker, it prevents the free movement of the membrane, which leads to sound distortion, a decrease in volume and the appearance of extraneous noises.

How to understand that the speaker needs cleaning?

The main signs of speaker pollution are:

• Volume reduction: The sound becomes quieter than before.
• Sound distortion: There’ wheezing, hissing or other extraneous noises.
• Fuzzy sound: Voices and music sound blurry and unclear.
