iphone speaker crackling

I have an iPhone 14 and the top speaker has started to have a crackling sound when audio is played. I may have gotten a little bit of water in it a few hours ago, but I tried to dry it off immediately. Water ejecting frequencies are not changing anything. Will this issue resolve with time or will it possibly need to get replaced?

iPhone 14, iOS 16
