Use Case

Car Sickness Relief

Directly tested in real vehicles at Nagoya University.

Directly tested in peer-reviewed research

The Science

Car sickness occurs when your inner ear senses movement but your eyes see a stationary interior. This sensory mismatch triggers nausea, dizziness, and cold sweats.

Stillwave's 100 Hz pure tone activates the otoconia — tiny calcium carbonate crystals in your inner ear — that help your vestibular system calibrate to movement. In the Nagoya University study, participants exposed to 100 Hz before real vehicle stop-and-go driving showed significantly reduced motion sickness symptoms.

This is the only sound-based approach tested in actual cars, not just simulators.

Tips for Best Results

  • 1.Use noise-cancelling earbuds for best results — they block engine noise that can interfere with the 100 Hz tone
  • 2.Play Stillwave before getting in the car, not after symptoms start
  • 3.Sit in the front seat and look at the horizon when possible
  • 4.For trips over 2 hours, replay Stillwave during a rest stop

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Stillwave actually tested in cars?

Yes. The Nagoya University study included a real vehicle trial with stop-and-go driving patterns at 40 km/h. Participants showed significantly lower motion sickness scores after 100 Hz exposure.

Should I play Stillwave before or during the drive?

Before. The study showed that 1 minute of pre-exposure before motion was most effective. Play it while parked, then start driving.

Does it work for the driver or just passengers?

Drivers rarely get motion sick because they anticipate vehicle movements. Stillwave is designed for passengers who experience car sickness.
