Damaged speaker most likely.

Water damage.

This is one of the biggest mistake you can make. As soon as you drop a phone in water, even your water resistant iPhone 7.

Here are some steps, you can try:

1: Completely power off the phone.

2. Remove the SIM card from the tray, and place it in a safe location to dry.

3. Fill up a Ziplock bag with rice or silica gel.

4. Completely bury the phone and SIM card in rice for at least 36 hours.

5. After at least 36 hours, take the phone out of the rice, and vacuum the ports to remove rice dust, and possibly water. Make sure to get the power jack, two microphones (looks like little holes) and the sim card tray area (I'm pretty sure you can remove the tray).

6. Power on the and pray it turns on. Than, try charging it. IF you are lucky everything should be fine. If not, be prepared to spend up to $150 on speaker repairs
