Speaker Buzzing After Water Exposure

Speaker buzzing after getting wet? Learn the difference between trapped liquid vibration and electrical short circuits.

Start audio tests at low volume; stop for distortion. Tones cannot guarantee removal of water or repair internal damage. Do not charge a wet device.

Mechanical Flutter: Buzzing occurs only when audio is actively playing. This is caused by water droplet resonance.

Electrical Buzz: Buzzing occurs continuously even when phone is silent. This indicates a minor moisture short on the audio DAC or amplifier chip.
