NSFH warning!

Take the title literally. I interpreted the title as "Webapp that creates natural water sound using your phone", so I clicked the play button without realizing this is NOT a water sound.

This is a tone that is played which expels water that got into the phone from the speaker, using the outward pressure created by the tone. Really cool idea.

Likely inspired by the Apple Watch feature. I’m surprised Apple didn’t build this into their phones as well. Good job!

I never knew my phone could be this loud.

I wanted to see whether this sound could also be used to amuse my cat, and I can conclusively report that she is not amused.

> So you've dropped your phone in the toilet,

Would you guys pick it up? I am not sure what I would do.

Edit: of course, I would not let it clog the drain. I mean would you use it afterward.

I never knew my phone had a little tiny fan.
