Image of what I’m trying to clean: https://imgur.com/a/J8PBbZx
I’m a carpenter by trade, so the holes on my phone always fill up with dust/sawdust/dirt and I can always clean them out pretty easily with a needle, but no matter how much I try to clean out this hole, my phone’s sound is always distorted and crackly. My guess is either there is dirt on the speaker diaphragm that is preventing it from vibrating properly or the diaphragm has been perforated. I don’t want to bring it in for repairs/cleaning because I know they will charge a lot of money for that. Does anybody know any effective way of cleaning in there?
EDIT: It’s probably worth mentioning that I only bought this phone about 4 months ago!
I’ve seen PhoneRepairGuru inject iso99 into the speaker and using a sound clip to help eject the iso99 mixed with gunk. You can also do this with distilled water, it’s probably better for the speaker membrane than iso99.
A rocket blower. Gently.

Or stikki. A synthetic dough to pull out dust. Go to amazon and check for STIKKI
Try dipping it in ultrasonic cleaners. Not too long, 10-15 seconds at time.
Noooooo, you risk dissolving the glue bro…
A man playing on a new golf course got confused as to what hole he was on. He saw a lady playing ahead of him, so he walked up to her and asked if she knew what hole he was playing… She replied, “I’m on the 7th hole and you’re a hole behind me, so you must be on the 6th hole.”
He thanked her and went back to his golf.
On the back nine, the same thing happened and he approached the lady, again with the same request.
She said, “I’m on the 14th, you are a hole behind me, so you must be on the 13th.”
Once again, he thanked her.
He finished his round, went into the club house and saw the lady sitting at the end of the bar.
He went up to her and said, “Let me buy you a drink to show my appreciation for your help.”
He started a conversation and asked her what kind of work she did.
She said she was in sales and he said he was in sales also.
He asked what she sold.
She replied, “If I told you, you would only laugh.”
“No, I wouldn’t.” he said.
She said, “I sell tampons.”
With that he fell on the floor laughing so hard.
She said, “See, I knew you would laugh.”
“That’s not what I’m laughing at!” he replied. “I’m a toilet paper salesman, so I’m STILL one hole behind you!”
Try downloading water eject or speaker cleaner app like Clear Wave.
Are you sure that you’re not experiencing the crackling speakers problem, as faced by S22 owners?
a tootbrush and TINY bit of alcohol, not much as it will dissolve the adhesive. this is the method i’ve been using with my phones for over a decade it should get rid of everything.
