Women only seem to be more susceptible to motion sickness than men because they have better hearing.Dog more prone to motion sickness than people because dog have better hearing than people.

People get carsick on trains or subways running at the same speed when hearing low-frequency noise. Without such noise on trains or subways, carsickness can be avoided. It fully proves that low-frequency noise is the only reason that causes carsickness.

I can tell how I think it it works in my case. I have sea sickness that occurs after about half an hour, and also if i am onboard  a  helicopter for more than 3-4 hours.
In the past I have experienced a period of chronic fatigue that made me even more sensitive to motion. I have onserve that if I played on a computer a game that I wasn't used to the motiom mechanics, I would get that sickness quite quickly. A 3d video for example can make almost anyone feel sick. Therefore, the sickness must be related to the brain. If the motion you experience doesn't match what the brains expect to happen the brain needs to learn the new mechanics. If the flow information that comes is high, I suppose that some hormones are activated that enables the brain to cope with the high demand. However, if the hormone production cannot keep upwith  the requirements the hormones levels go down and the brain cannot handle the situation well and you get sick. Now that I have passed the chronical fatigue phase, I can cope much better with things like that. The chronical fatigue was confirmed by symptoms like poor sleep during night and sleepiness during the day, slow recovery after exercise, poor digestion, joint pain, poor immunity (frequent colds),etc.
As a conclusion, it should be related to the hormone production capacity and overal endocrine strengthness.
Also if you have a problem with the inner ear for example it can cause random inputs that confuse the brain.

Your  question  has  already  been  thought  about  a  lot,  if  seasickness  is  caused  by  shaking,  then  why  until  now  there  is  no  exercise  specialist  says  that  the  cause  of  motion  sickness  have  been  found  in  the  world  is  shaking?  But  why  do  the  real  recognized  reasons  of  motion  sickness  not  be  found?  I  always  take  the  boat  with  a  big  quake,  but  I  never  have  the  feeling  of  seasickness  and  never  see  the  people  around  me  have  the  slightest  seasick  symptom.The  old  crew  on  the  sea  almost  all  the  year  round  has  said  that  the  more  shaking  the  boat  is,  the  less  possibility  to  get  seasick.  Thus  it  can  be  seen  that  seasickness  has  nothing  to  do  with  shaking  and  sports.  Ancient  Chinese  and  ancient  Greece  had  a  view  that  the  boat  sailing  on  the  sea  would  cause  nausea  when  it  met  sandstorms(Because  carsickness  and  seasickness  only  have  the  signs  of  nausea  and  vomiting  with  no  vertigo  syndromes.  Only  rotation  will  have  symptoms  of  dizziness  and  seasickness.  Carsickness  and  seasickness  with  the  symptom  of  dizziness  are  fabricated  by  experts  to  confuse  the  symptom  of  carsickness  and  seasickness  with  that  of  dizzy.)  There  is  no  saying  that  ancient  people  would  feel  nausea  when  they  took  the  shaking  carriages  with  large  turbulence,  this  is  because  the  shaking  of  ancient  carriage  is  very  violent,  but  there  is  no  engine  producing  low-frequency  noise,  that  won't  cause  carsickness.  Different  reasons  will  inevitably  lead  to  different  results.  If  the  shaking  of  boat  can  really  cause  seasickness,  so  this  kind  of  seasick  symptom  caused  by  shaking  and  seasickness  caused  by  low-frequency  noise  will  certainly  be  different,  which  can  just  prove  seasickness  has  two  reasons,  low-frequency  noise  and  shaking  that  will  cause  relevant  two  different  seasickness.  As  I  discovered  in  1992,  the  nightmare  was  caused  by  two  palpitations,  racing  heart  and  slow  beating,  which  would  correspondingly  cause  being  pursued,  attacked  and  people  flying  up  and  down.  So  seasickness  has  the  same  story  with  these  two  common  nightmares.
