1. A device comprising:
a barometer sensor;
barometric noise associated hardware capable of detecting movement of the device or sound; and
one or more processors in communication with the barometer sensor and the barometric noise associated hardware, the one or more processors configured to:
periodically check the barometric noise associated hardware for barometric noise associated conditions based on instructions sent to the barometric noise associated hardware that, when executed by the barometric noise associated hardware, cause the barometric noise associated hardware to create a condition introducing barometric noise to a measurement acquired from the barometer sensor; and
determine to either acquire the measurement from the barometer sensor if the barometric noise associated conditions are within acceptable limits or delay acquisition of the measurement from the barometer sensor if the barometric noise associated conditions are outside of acceptable limits.
