I have the iPhone XR& drooped it in the tub for 3 seconds. The top speaker doesn't sound well, will it recover overtime?

Yes. Just let it sit on its front on a table with the speaker enough for it to be on the edge for 24 hours. This will drain out the water. I would let it sit for 24 hours just to be safe. For an iPhone, 3 seconds in the water, with or without a protector, would almost never permanently ruin it. I don't think there will be any need to bring it to Applecare. If you don't notice any difference for some reason when letting it sit, then it would be something to consider.

It may. Could/should try the methods of evacuating water though.
