Step by Step: How to Clean Your Cell Phone Microphone

Now that you need to get rid of your mobile phone's dust and residual dirt from the microphone, it's time to work. Below I will explain how to find the position of the microphone (or microphone) and how to clean it safely.

1. Locate

First of all, you should know that most modern smartphones have more than one microphone, to improve the quality of audio output and suppress all noise as much as possible.

As a general rule, a microphone is located at the bottom of the phone, one on its forehead, towards the center . If you bring the phone closer to your ear, the microphone must correspond to the position of the mouth. And finally, a third microphone must be located near the rear camera.

If you find it difficult to identify the exact position of the microphone installed in the smartphone you have, I recommend you include the instruction manual in the sales package. Or do a Google search using the search key like "where is the microphone (model and model of smartphone)" .

2. Clean the microphone

Once you identify the position of the microphone, you can continue with the actual cleaning operation. First, reveal a soft cloth on the surface that you want to work on to prevent accidental scratches and slippage. Then rest the device on the cloth, so that you can easily access the microphone of the phone.

After that, take brush, or cotton buds. Start cleaning slowly. First microphone , slowly and regularly transferring the tool you have chosen to clean, until you see that the accumulated dirt does not come out. Work with utmost humility and without forcing you more than this. In fact, it can achieve the opposite effect. That is to say, push in dirt particles that disrupt the microphone or, which is worse, damage it.

If necessary, try gently to remove residual dust or dirt on the microphone that you might not otherwise remove. Then repeat the same operation. The other microphone is probably present on the smartphone. You saw that it was not difficult at all!

The steps I have provided above are generally valid for most excellent smartphones. If you have an iPhone and need even more precise information about the latter, I invite you to consult my specific guide devoted to the subject.

Other ways to improve audio.

As you say, while you have followed all the instructions that I have given you in this letter, are you still not satisfied with the performance of the on-call audio? Do not throw in the towel!

Before you even think about changing your device, you can try for everything by practicing the suggestions below. Of course, I cannot guarantee that these will be 100% solved, but as it is said, it is worth a try!

  • Remove the cell phone case - It may happen that in some cases, especially the cheapest ones, are not properly perforated in correspondence with the microphone (or microphone) with which the phone is equipped. For this reason, before going on any other road, try to remove the phone from the cover and recheck the operation of the microphone - the result may surprise you.

  • Use an application - If you have an Android phone, you can try to improve audio playback using a third-party app, like a microphone amplifier. The software, which works even without root permission, operates on the "hidden" audio settings of the operating system, increasing the recording volume of the microphone. This is illustrated in how it works, along with many other useful tips, in my dedicated guide to increasing microphone volume.
  • Adjust Microphone - Do you suspect that your phone's microphone is damaged or at least not working properly? You can then try to fix it yourself by practicing a series of well-defined steps: First, you can try restarting the phone or, in case of failure, updating the operating system phone, either Android or iOS. In this way, you should avoid malfunction due to software error. If this solution does not solve your problem, you can put the phone into service or try to repair it on your own (with all possible results) - I have included in my guide how to repair cell phone microphone But explained everything.
