1. A method, comprising:
providing, by a control system of an input device, one or more first beacon signals to an input object;
based, at least in part, on force data from the input object, detecting, by the control system, noise interference associated with providing at least one of the one or more first beacon signals to the input object;
generating, by the control system, a noise profile using the detected noise interference,
wherein the noise profile indicates a plurality of noise events and a plurality of time markers,
wherein each time marker, of the plurality of time markers, is associated with a noise event, of the plurality of noise events;
based, at least in part, on the noise profile, altering, by the control system, a timing schedule for providing one or more subsequent beacon signals; and
providing, by the control system, the one or more subsequent beacon signals to the input object based, at least in part, on the timing schedule.
