In practical scientific computing, signals are often contaminated with noise, making it challenging to extract meaningful features. Filtering and peak detection are essential tools for analyzing such noisy data. In this challenge, you will use `scipy.signal` to process a time series by removing noise and then identifying significant peaks, which are often of interest in engineering and scientific applications.
